BookingBeetle guides
Turn your service prices into an online estimate.
Start with the rules you use when a customer calls. An online estimate needs clear service choices, quantities, extras, and a minimum charge that work together.
Pick a unit customers understand
Use a service unit a customer can identify without specialist knowledge. Rooms and stairways can work for carpet cleaning. Other services may need a different unit or a conversation before they can be booked.
Describe the limit of each option. If a large room costs more, explain what makes it large so customers can make the right choice.
Show how the minimum charge works
A minimum charge sets the lowest estimate for a job. It is useful to show it clearly when the selected services total less than that amount.
In the sample BookingBeetle carpet-cleaning configuration, three small rooms at $80 each total $240. The $350 minimum sets the estimate at $350. It does not add another $350 to the room total.
Separate optional extras from the core service
List optional work in terms the customer understands and explain what each extra applies to. A treatment charged per room needs a clear room quantity.
Three $80 rooms plus a $50 treatment for one room total $290. With the sample $350 minimum, the estimate is still $350. Five $80 rooms total $400 before that treatment.
Check jobs above and below the minimum
Test one small job and one larger job. These cases show whether the service total and minimum behave as you intend.
Add one large room at $130 to the three-room example. The service total becomes $370, so the estimate is $370. These are sample rates. Your BookingBeetle setup uses your own rates.
Identify work that needs a conversation
Some work has conditions a simple service selection cannot capture. Write those down and discuss them during setup so the booking process fits the way you accept jobs.
Avoid giving customers a price rule you cannot consistently honor. Use your walkthrough to check how unusual jobs, service limits, and job questions should be handled.
Review prices after launch
Keep the booking page aligned with your current service list and rates. Every BookingBeetle plan includes owner controls for services, prices, and available times.
Managed includes two batches of updates handled for you each month if you prefer to send changes to us.
