How it works

Up and running in an afternoon.

No website to build, no setup fees, no learning curve. Marlo gets you taking bookings the same day.

1

Build your page

Add your services, hours, photos, and deposit rules. It looks like you — not a generic form.

2

Share your link

Drop your Marlo link in your Instagram bio. Clients book a real-time slot in a tap.

3

Get booked & paid

Confirmations, reminders, and deposits run themselves — so you can focus on the work.

Features

Everything in one calm place.

The booking, the messages, the money, and the marketing — finally under one roof, designed to feel quiet instead of busy.

One inbox for every message

SMS and Instagram DMs land in a single, tidy inbox — tagged automatically as booking requests, reschedules, or new clients. Reply once; Marlo routes it back to the right place.

Auto-tagged threads Quick replies No more lost DMs
Marlo unified chat inbox with tagged client conversations

A booking page that looks like you

Share one link and clients book real-time slots, choose services, and leave a deposit at the moment they book — so your calendar fills and no-shows fall.

Take deposits up front and the balance at checkout. Clear totals, fewer no-shows, faster payouts.

Clients who keep coming back

Every client, visit, note, and preference in one place — so each appointment feels personal without the mental load.

Most booking apps stop at the calendar. Marlo keeps your chairs full — built-in campaigns, reviews, referrals, and ads, with no marketing know-how required.

Campaigns in a few taps

Fill open slots this week, win back lapsing clients, or launch a new service. Marlo drafts the message and picks the right audience — you just hit send. Text and email, built in.
