Is your booking setup costing you clients?

A new client decides whether to book you in the first minute — long before they ever meet you. If booking means a DM, a wait, or a string of messages, plenty quietly book someone else. Answer eight quick questions to see the gaps a new client notices first.

Worth knowing: in Aasure's 2026 survey, 57% of owners had lost — or suspected they'd lost — a client to a slow reply. Most of those clients were ready to book. The setup just got in the way.

1 About your business
What do you do?
This tailors your result to how your clients tend to book.
2 The front door
How does a new client actually book with you?
Think about what a stranger has to do to get a slot in your diary.
3 After hours
Can someone book you in the evening or at the weekend?
Most people decide to book when they're off work — and so are you.
4 Response speed
When a new client enquires, how fast do they hear back?
A reply that comes too late often arrives after they've booked elsewhere.
5 Friction
How many steps to go from "I want to book" to "I'm booked"?
Every extra step or message is a place people drop out.
6 Availability
Can a new client see your real, live availability and pick a slot?
Ask-and-wait kills the moment someone's ready to commit.
7 After booking
Once a slot is booked, what happens automatically?
Silence feels risky; no reminder means more no-shows.
8 Commitment
Can a new client pay or leave a deposit when they book?
A deposit turns a maybe into a commitment — and protects you from no-shows.

Answer as a new client would experience you, not how it works behind the scenes.

What a new client notices, in order
What a booking page clients can't fault does
  • Shows live availability and confirms instantly — any time, on any phone.
  • Takes a deposit at booking and sends reminders, so fewer slots go to waste.
  • Looks like you — your name, photos and services — so a stranger trusts it.

Give clients a front door they can't fault.

Aasure gives you a booking page that takes bookings, deposits and reminders on its own — share it as a link or a QR code, and let new clients book themselves in seconds.

How this is worked out. Your score rates how easily a new client can go from wanting to book to being booked, across the things they notice first — how they book, after-hours access, response speed, steps, live availability, confirmation and deposits. Each is weighted by how much it tends to cost in lost bookings. The 57% figure is from Aasure's 2026 UK survey of service-business owners. It's a guide to where you're leaking clients, not an exact count for your business.
