Pick your link first
Your link is timebase.pro/your-name. Lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens. It will be in your Instagram bio and on every confirmation email for a long time, so pick something short and easy to say out loud.
First name works. Business name works. If both are taken, add your craft: jane-cuts, olivia-skin, mike-tattoo. Avoid numbers if you can — they read as temporary even when they aren't.
Add one service. Just one.
Don't try to add your whole menu before you go live. Pick the service you do most often, give it the name a customer would actually use ("Haircut", not "Signature Precision Cut"), set a duration, set a price, save.
You can add the rest later from inside the app. A live link with one service beats a perfect setup nobody sees.
Set hours that match your real week
Open Availability and put in the hours you actually want to work — not the hours you think you should. Block lunch as a real block, not a gap you hope nobody notices. If you need 15 minutes between appointments to clean up or breathe, set buffer time to 15 minutes.
Your timezone is set during onboarding. Double-check it now if you've moved or if you travel — the wrong timezone is the most common reason a customer shows up an hour off.
Test the booking yourself
Open your link on your phone in a private tab and book yourself an appointment. Walk through every screen. Check that the service name reads clearly, the price isn't a surprise, and the confirmation email lands the way you'd want it to land.
If anything feels off, fix it now. It's faster than apologizing to the first ten customers.
Send the link to one person
Pick one regular customer and text them the link. "You can book me here from now on." That's your launch. Once one person uses it without confusion, send it to ten more, then put it in your Instagram bio.
