# Service Area

Service Areas control **where** customers can book you or your team members.

If you don’t add a service area, booking is available for **all locations**.

* **Radius** — a circle around one location. Everything within the distance you set is covered. Best for quick, even coverage.

* **Geofence** — a custom shape you draw yourself. Trace exact neighborhoods, city limits, or any irregular area you serve.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Set your area

**If you chose Radius:** search for your city in the search bar to set the home base location, then set the distance you want to cover by moving the radius slider.

**If you chose Geofence:** search a location to jump the map there, then click on the map to drop points around the area you serve. Press **Enter** or double-click to close the shape. Drag any point to fine-tune the outline, or use **Reset** to start over.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Assign team members

Assign one or more team members to that service area by selecting the relevant ones from the dropdown.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Save

Click **Add** to save that service area. You can create multiple service areas if your team members operate in different locations.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://uni.fotello.co/availability-and-scheduling/service-area.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
