How It Works

Whether you're booking a local service or listing your business, here's how BookLocalPG works in Prince George.

How booking works

Find and book local services — no account required.

1. Browse or search

Explore providers on the marketplace by category, rating, or service area. Read real reviews and compare options before you book.

2. Pick a time

Choose an open slot on a provider's profile, or submit a quote request for hourly-rate services. No account needed — just your name and email.

3. Book and go

Confirm your booking and receive an email with all the details. Manage cancellations or leave a review through links in your confirmation email.

For providers

List your services, accept bookings, and grow your client base in Prince George. Free to join, free to get started.

Get started in five steps

From signup to your first booking — most providers are set up in under an hour.

1. Sign up and complete onboarding

Create your account, then walk through onboarding to set your business name, contact details, and booking page URL at booklocalpg.com/providers/your-name.

No credit card required. No monthly fees.

2. Add services and set availability

Build your service menu with fixed-price or hourly-rate offerings. Set your weekly hours in Booking Settings so customers can see open time slots.

Customers cannot book until you have at least one active service and weekly availability configured.

3. Get reviewed for the marketplace

New providers are reviewed before appearing on the public browse directory. While you wait, you can still share your booking page link and accept bookings directly.

Once approved, customers can discover you when they browse by category, rating, or service area.

4. Manage your business from the dashboard

Confirm bookings, respond to quote requests, block time on your calendar, and track customers — all from one dashboard. Get email notifications for new bookings, cancellations, and messages.

Collect reviews, send appointment reminders, and create manual bookings for phone or walk-in customers.

5. Share your booking page

Copy your profile link and share it on Instagram, Facebook, business cards, or anywhere customers might find you.

One link shows your services, reviews, and booking options — no back-and-forth texts required.

Two ways customers can book you

Choose the booking type that fits each service you offer.

Fixed-price services

Best for services with a set duration and price — haircuts, massages, tutoring sessions. Customers pick a date and time on your profile and book instantly.

You confirm the booking, and both of you receive email confirmation.

Hourly-rate services

Best when pricing depends on the job — repairs, landscaping, consulting. Customers describe what they need and submit a request. You review it, coordinate with them, and create a booking from your dashboard.

Manage requests from the Requests page in your dashboard.
