The Company Initial Settings section is your starting point for launching a branch in Altegio. In 5–10 minutes, you fill in the basic information that makes your brand visible in online booking, puts you on the map, and ensures clients receive clear notifications in the right language and time format.
Why You Should Do This Right Away #
An incomplete profile in online booking is like a storefront with no sign. Your potential client is searching for a salon on the map and sees two options nearby: one has interior photos, a logo, and a clear description, while the other has an empty profile with a default name. Which one will they book?
A booking decision often takes just a few seconds, before the client even sees your prices or reads your reviews.
Consistent Branding Drives More Bookings #
Uploading a logo, photos, and a filled-in description makes your online booking page feel branded: clients see a recognizable name and a coherent visual identity. This is especially important when similar salons or clinics are operating nearby. A professionally set up profile removes hesitation and increases the chance the client clicks Book Now instead of closing the tab.
There’s an added benefit: clients who encounter a polished, professional profile are psychologically more open to choosing premium services. A branded presentation removes the “is it worth it?” barrier before it even appears.
Accurate Contacts and Address: Fewer Late Arrivals and Calls #
The address and contact details from your settings appear directly in online booking. When this information is correct, clients can navigate to you without extra steps and arrive on time. Fewer calls asking for directions, fewer late arrivals, fewer missed slots.
Language and Time Format: Zero Confusion in Notifications #
Language and date/time format settings determine how automated reminders look to your clients. If the format feels unfamiliar or the language doesn’t match what the client expects, some will simply not show up, assuming the message was an error or meant for someone else.
Set this up once, and you get consistent client attendance: clients receive a clear reminder the day before their visit and show up. Fewer no-shows means a more predictable schedule and steadier revenue.
How to Complete the Setup #
Work through the five subsections in order:
- General Information — name, description, logo
- Contact Details — phone, email, website
- Photos — interior, team, atmosphere
- Business Details — legal company information
- System Settings — language, date and time format
Once done, your branch is ready to operate and you can move on to the next sections of the system.
