Today's Quote is from Mason Cooley "An event is not over until everyone is tired of talking about it."

Create Events 2 Ways in Google

You can take advantage of this twofold by:

  • - First creating an event page for any events on your site, adding the markup, and hoping Google scrapes your site and uses this in place of third-party sites.
  • - Second, you can create an Event Post with the same details of the event, and link it to the schema marked up event on your website.


Google My Business Knowledge Panel Events

Events in The Business Profile (Knowledge Panel) Are These The Same As Event Posts? - no

Events in the Business Profile (KP) are not connected to Google Events Posts. These events are pulled from third-party sources (like Eventful, Eventbrite) or your own website and marked up in Event Schema or structured data markup.

Questions regarding your business events

  • Are you missing opportunities for greater exposure through events?
  • Do you use events correctly?
  • Do your events capture any interest?

Writing Event Titles

Some CTA's (Call To Actions) work better than others so choose the right button to compliment the title

Event Titles Are Optional. You can use up to a maximum of 58 characters (with spaces) for your title. If you are using all of the allowable characters, some of the text will get cut off in the thumbnail preview .

It’s not mandatory to add a title, but if you do add one your post will stand out in search results and the title will be bold. Currently, you can’t manually bold any text in posts, and so having a title does make it pop more.
