For the best results when implementing LocalMed widgets, we suggest:

  • Placing your widget in the header or on your home page where it can be seen without scrolling

  • Placing LocalMed widgets behind any button of your choice

  • Naming your button in a way that the patient knows they will have a true appointment at the end of the process. We suggest wording such as “Book Now”, “Schedule Online”, or even “Schedule 24/7 Here”

Place a widget link behind a button

For quick and simple installation, you can place your website widget link behind any button or image. Instructions for adding a link to a button can differ based on your website host, but generally you will see an add URL link as an option for your button or image. Add your online scheduling URL link to your button or image.

Creating a Pop Up Widget

Share the the instructions below with your website developer for widget installation:


1. Include the below JavaScript SDK on your page once, ideally right after the opening <body> tag:

<script>
(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s);
js.id = id;
js.src = 'https://www.localmed.com/assets/web/js/widget.js';
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'localmed-wjs'));
</script>

2. Place this tag wherever you want the widget to render:

<a data-localmed-toggle="modal" href="PLACE WEBSITE WIDGET LINK FROM EMAIL HERE">Schedule Online</a>


3. Replace the "PLACE WEBSITE LINK FROM EMAIL HERE" with the website widget link supplied in your email

Note: If you do not have your LocalMed widget links, reach out to our support team! We will be able to provide them to you.
