01
Missed calls become lost learners
A learner who cannot get through may book the next school that answers. The lesson itself can be excellent. The gap is the unanswered enquiry.
Built for Irish driving schools and ADIs
Turn driving lesson enquiries into paid bookings.
Capture learners while you are teaching. Optivoq connects your website, services, availability, deposits, reminders and review requests in one managed journey.
Works with your existing website and business-owned accounts.
You're teaching. Your next customer is trying to reach you.
These are ordinary gaps in a lesson-based business. The teaching can be strong while the path from enquiry to a secured booking is still manual.
02
Repeated messages about prices and availability
The same questions return each week: price, duration, manual or automatic, and whether there is a usable time.
03
Time reserved without a deposit
A time can be held in a conversation and then disappear, while another learner was ready to secure it.
04
Calendar clashes and manual updates
Lessons arranged by memory and messages are easy to overlap when more than one person is updating the diary.
05
Satisfied learners forgetting to leave reviews
A good lesson does not become a public review unless the request is made after the lesson is complete.
06
Advertising clicks that cannot be connected to bookings
Visits can arrive from advertising, but without a connected journey it is hard to see which clicks became paid bookings.
Learner journey
A clear path, configured for the school.
Services, prices, lesson duration, travel areas, deposits and availability are configured for each school.
01
Choose a service
The learner picks a service the school has configured, such as a manual lesson, an automatic lesson, EDT or a pre-test.
02
View genuine availability
The times shown are the availability configured for that school, rather than a generic contact form.
03
Select a provisional time
The learner asks for a time. It stays provisional until the instructor approves it.
04
Secure the request with a deposit
When that step is active, a deposit is taken through the school's own Stripe account, so the request is held with a payment the school receives.
05
Receive confirmation after instructor approval
The instructor approves, declines or suggests another time. Confirmation is sent after approval, once that step has been tested for the school.

Instructor experience
One decision - not another dashboard.
Optivoq maintains the internal stages and audit history. The instructor acts only when a business decision is required.
The decision is approve, decline or suggest another time. Delivery of that decision is configured with the school's own accounts during setup.

Existing tools
Works with the tools your business already owns.
Eligible businesses can link their Google Business Profile to their branded booking page. Google decides whether a booking link is shown, after its own review.
Existing website or hosted booking page
The journey can sit on the school's current website, or on a branded booking page hosted for the school and linked from the site.
Google Business Profile booking link
An eligible, verified business can add its branded booking page as a booking link on its own Google Business Profile. Google reviews those links and may limit them by category, region and policy. Optivoq is not a Reserve with Google provider.
Google Calendar
The school's Google Calendar can be connected so availability and confirmed lessons stay in the diary the business already owns.
Client-owned Stripe account
When deposits are active, they are taken through the driving school's own Stripe account. The school receives the learner's payment. Optivoq does not receive that payment.
Transactional email
Confirmation, reminder and review-request messages are sent by email once that step has been tested for the school.
Google review link
After a completed lesson, the school can ask the learner to use the school's own Google review link.
Advertising attribution
Basic conversion attribution connects eligible advertising clicks with enquiries. Advertising spend is paid by the school, directly to the advertising platform.
Founder programme
A managed system for the first driving schools.
One programme. Setup is scoped to the booking and growth journey, then activated in stages.

Questions driving schools ask.
Can this work with my existing website?
Yes. The booking journey can sit on your current website, or on a hosted Optivoq booking page that you link from it.
What if I do not have a website?
You can start with a hosted Optivoq booking page and use that link from your Google Business Profile, messages and advertising.
Who receives learner payments?
When deposits are active, they are taken through the driving school's own Stripe account. Optivoq does not receive the learner's payment.
Can I approve bookings before confirmation?
Yes. When the deposit and approval step is active, a learner can request a provisional time and secure it with a deposit. The lesson is confirmed after you approve it. You can also decline or suggest another time.
Can I control services, areas and availability?
Yes. Services, prices, lesson duration, travel areas, deposits and availability are configured for your school.
Who owns the calendar and customer information?
Your business retains ownership of its domain, accounts, calendar and customer data.
Is Google advertising included?
No. Google advertising spend is separate and paid directly by you. The founder programme includes basic conversion attribution so eligible clicks can be connected to enquiries.
Does Optivoq guarantee enquiries or Google rankings?
No. Optivoq does not guarantee enquiries, Google rankings or driving-test passes.
How is the system tested before launch?
Features are activated in controlled stages after testing with your business-owned accounts. The journey is checked before it is used with real learners.
Will I need to manage another dashboard?
The instructor's job is the decision: approve, decline or suggest another time. Optivoq maintains the internal stages and audit history.
