Direct Answer
For most U.S. service businesses, Calendly (free–$16/seat/month) is the simplest. Acuity ($16–$49/month) handles intake forms and packages. Square Appointments ($0–$69/month) bundles payments. GoHighLevel includes booking inside the CRM. Pick the one that integrates cleanly with your CRM and Google or Microsoft calendar.

Always enable buffer time between appointments — prevents back-to-back overruns and gives you time to context-switch.
Use round-robin assignment if multiple team members take appointments — distributes load fairly.
