Instabase, a rental space matching platform operated by Rebase Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Kai Sato), has launched integration with Google's 'Reserve with Google'. This allows users to book rental spaces used for various purposes such as photography, meetings, and events directly from Google Search and Google Maps.
Many people searching for spaces primarily use Google Search or Google Maps based on location or purpose. Surveys targeting physical stores show that approximately 73% of users who searched on Google Maps visited the store, indicating that search actions are directly linked to actual behavior. Against this backdrop, Instabase decided to implement this integration to provide an experience where booking can be completed at the very moment a user searches for a space.
With this update, users can access the Instabase reservation page directly from the space information displayed on Google Search and Google Maps and complete their booking. This seamless reservation experience not only benefits users but also allows space hosts to reach new user segments that were previously unreachable, increasing booking opportunities.
This integration aims to create an environment where encounters with spaces naturally occur starting from Google Search and Google Maps, platforms used daily. Instabase will continue to build experiences where the everyday action of 'searching for a space' leads directly to 'booking and utilization'. Integration with these widely used platforms is a significant step forward. Increasing the 'triggers' for using spaces in daily life provides new doorways for users and new meeting places for hosts. We will continue to support the moments where people and places meet, aiming for a world where many 'beginnings' spread.
