Public discoverability

What the Public discoverability switch does in Bokko, how it differs from publishing your booking page, and when guests can still book you through a direct link.

The Public discoverability switch controls whether your salon 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 Booking rules screen, inside the visibility section.

What happens when it is on

  • Your salon can appear in Bokko's public salon search.
  • The public search only returns salons where publicSearchEnabled is turned on.
  • The public listing exposes a limited public summary, such as the salon name, slug, description, city and logo if available.

What happens when it is off

If Public discoverability is turned off, your salon 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.
