Google Book Online / Reserve with Google

Seamlessly Sell Parking from Google Search & Maps

Reserve with Google is a program that allows your parking inventory to be bookable directly from your Google Business Profile—via Google Search and Google Maps. A “Book Online” button is added to your listing, linking customers to a ParkWhiz-powered reservation page.

There’s no cost to operators to participate, and no extra work needed once your pricing is live in ParkWhiz Admin.

How It Works

• Flash adds the “Book Online” button to your Google listing

• Customers who search for parking on Google Maps or Search can click it to book and pay

• Bookings flow into your ParkWhiz Admin dashboard like any other reservation

• These transactions are tagged with the partner name “Google”
  
  

This feature is only available for reservable locations. Scan to Pay and DTC-only facilities are not eligible.

What's Required?

• Your location must have active reservation pricing in ParkWhiz Admin
  
  

• Once added, your listing will:
  
  

  • Appear on Google with a “Book Online” button (within 24–48 hours)
    

  • Be discoverable on Google Maps and Search across mobile and desktop
    
    

• No manual updates are needed—ParkWhiz syncs with Google daily at 6 AM CST

Operational Notes

• No Changes to Onsite Operations Needed
   Your existing equipment and entry process remain unchanged.
  
  

• No Permission Needed
   Flash can list your inventory via Reserve with Google under its partnership agreement.
  
  

• Standard ParkWhiz Fees Apply
   Bookings made through Google are charged the same transaction fees as other ParkWhiz reservations.

• Custom Pricing Support
   You can work with the Flash Demand team to adjust pricing by distribution channel (e.g., Google vs. ParkWhiz)

Common Questions 

• Who controls the Google Business listing?
   You do. Flash only adds the booking button.

• Can I change the button design or text?
   No. Google controls the appearance and labeling of the button.
  
  

• How can I tell a booking came from Google?
   In ParkWhiz Admin, these bookings are labeled with the partner tag “Google.”
  
  

• What if I want to appear only on Google and not ParkWhiz?
   Flash’s distribution model requires that your location appear on all platforms, including ParkWhiz, BestParking, and partner sites like Ticketmaster.
