Your Calendly link, or a page with Calendly on it?
Coaches, consultants and freelancers often put their Calendly link straight in their bio. That works, until people want to know more before they book.
Already have a page there? Bring it over in one click.
Calendly alone is a fine bio link, sometimes
Calendly is the scheduling tool most people know. Its pricing page lists a free plan with one event type and paid plans from Standard at $10 a seat a month billed yearly. If the only thing anyone does from your bio is book a call, sending them straight to your Calendly page is the shortest path, and nothing here says otherwise.
It stops being enough when people need context first: who you are, what the call is for, what you charge, what others say, or whether they should read or watch something before they book.
The page with the calendar on it
makerhandle's Book a time block puts your Calendly calendar on your page, under your name, photo and a line about what the call is for. Visitors pick a time without leaving. The calendar only loads when they scroll near it, so the page stays fast, and without JavaScript it is a plain link to your Calendly page.
Around it you can add what helps people decide: your latest video, a short list of services as buttons, your newsletter, a contact form on Pro. yourname/book goes straight to your booking page, for the times you want the shortcut. See Book a time and Calendly on makerhandle.
