The Public discoverability switch controls whether your business appears in Bokko's public search results. It does not replace the publish state of your booking page, and the two settings are handled separately.
Where to find it
You can manage this setting on the Publish screen, inside the discoverability / visibility section.
What happens when it is on
- Your business can appear in Bokko's public search directory.
- Public discoverability must be turned on for your business to appear in the public search.
- The business must also have online booking activated and be in a booking-ready state before it can actually appear there.
- The public listing shows a limited summary: business name, description, city and logo if available.
What happens when it is off
If Public discoverability is turned off, your business does not appear in Bokko's public search results. However, this does not automatically disable your booking page.
Guests can still reach you through a direct booking link if your booking page is otherwise published and operational.
How this relates to publishing
Bokko treats public discoverability as a soft warning, not as a hard publish blocker. On the Publish screen, a disabled discoverability setting means you are not shown in search, but it does not prevent direct-link bookings by itself.
In other words, discoverability is necessary for public search visibility, but it is not sufficient by itself. The booking page also has to be active and booking-ready.
