Short answer

Put a booking link in your Instagram bio that lets people pick a service, vehicle size and time without messaging you, then point every post, story and DM reply at it. Clients who can see prices and open times book faster than ones who have to ask "how much?" and wait.

Put a real booking link in your bio#

"DM to book" makes every client start a conversation and wait for you. A booking link lets them see your services and prices and pick an open time, even at 11pm when you're asleep. With Beadup, your link ends in your own name (for example /yourname), and clients book in their browser with no app or account.

Post work that shows the result#

  • Before and after, same angle, same light.
  • Short videos: water beading on fresh coating, pet hair coming out, a foam pass.
  • Always end the caption with the service name and "book from the link in bio".

Reply to DMs with the link#

Answer the question, then hand over the link so the client can choose a time themselves:

"A full interior on an SUV is $220. You can see my open times and book here: [link]. A 30% deposit holds your spot."

Use stories and highlights#

Add a link sticker to stories when you have openings this week, and keep highlights for prices, reviews and your policy. New followers check highlights before they book.

Take it offline with a QR code#

Put a QR code for your booking link on the van, business cards and a flyer you leave with neighbors after a job. Beadup shows a QR code for your link in the app, ready to scan from someone else's phone.

Common questions#

What link should a detailer put in their Instagram bio?+
A booking link where clients can pick a service, vehicle size and time without messaging you. Beadup gives every detailer one for free.
Do clients need an app to book a detailer from Instagram?+
Not with Beadup. Clients book from the link in any browser, with no download and no account.
