How do I automatically answer clients who ask "how much?"
The simplest way is to show your prices where clients look before they ask: on your booking page, next to each service. For questions that still come on WhatsApp, save a quick reply with the price and a booking link. And an AI agent on your booking page answers price questions by itself, around the clock.
3 ways, and the difference
| The way | How it works | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Prices on your booking page | Each service shows its price and length | The client sees it and books in the same place |
| A WhatsApp Business quick reply | A shortcut that inserts a saved message with the price | You still need to open the chat and send it yourself |
| An AI agent on your booking page | Answers by itself from the services and prices you set | It answers only from what you set, and never invents prices |
What to write in a price reply
- The price, or a price range
- How long the service takes
- What's included
- A link to book
- A short question that keeps the chat going
Hi! A men's haircut is $30, about 30 minutes. All free times are here, and you can book in one click: [link]
More ready-made texts are in the WhatsApp Business message generator.
3 common mistakes
- "Better to talk on the phone" instead of a price. Many clients won't call, and will just keep looking.
- A price with no link. The client got an answer, but needs another message to book.
- An outdated price list. An old price makes things awkward when the client arrives.
How it works in BookMe1
On your booking page, every service shows its price and length. The AI agent on the page answers clients in 7 languages, based on the services, prices, hours, address and cancellation policy in your settings. You can also teach it more answers in the "Knowledge base".
When it doesn't know, it doesn't make things up: it suggests calling you, or shows a "Message the business on WhatsApp" button with the question already written. The agent is included in every plan at no extra cost: Basic $24 ยท Exclusive $29 ยท Premium $39 a month. First month free, cancel in one click.

FAQ
Does the agent answer on WhatsApp too?
No. It answers on your booking page. On WhatsApp Business you can set an away message with your page link, and the client continues from there.
Can the agent book appointments?
No. It answers questions, and the booking is made in the calendar on the page, in a few clicks.
What if the price varies, say by hair length?
Write a price range and a short explanation in the "Knowledge base", and the agent will answer by it.
Is there a limit on the number of questions?
The agent answers up to 100 questions a day for each business. After that, until the end of the day, clients get a fixed reply with your phone number and a WhatsApp button.
Can I see what clients asked?
Yes. In your dashboard, under "What customers asked", you see the questions from the last 30 days, and can add an answer in one click.
