What the data shows for vets
The sample is small, so read the share as a range. With 40 sites, a plausible range for the true share (a 95% Wilson interval) is 7% to 29%.
Separately, counting every listing in this trade rather than only tested websites: 10 of 71 Google listings (14%) show no website at all. That figure uses a different denominator (all listings) and is not part of the share above.
What customers expect from veterinary clinics
Pet owners book wellness visits ahead and call for urgent problems. Clinics in this study were among the more bookable businesses.
What a fix looks like
An appointment request button on the homepage for routine visits, with the emergency phone number shown next to it.
- Put the booking or request link on the homepage, near the top, labeled with a verb ("Book a visit", "Request an estimate").
- Keep a tap-to-call link next to it for customers who would rather phone.
- Add the same link to your Google Business Profile so people can book from Maps and Search. See how to add a booking link to Google Business Profile.
- After you change the site, run the free Book Check again to confirm a booking path is detected.
