Display Events in Google Search

[Jacob Jacobson]

Is Events Calendar Pro built to feed calendar events into Google search natively? not just the webpage for the event, but in Google’s local search results like this blog shows?

How to get Google Calendar events in the search results

[Courtney]

Hi Jacob

Our plugin uses JSON-LD to send the events markup to Google’s search. You can see an example search of a site that has events appearing in : https://www.google.com/search?q=smithsonian+national+museum+of+african+art+events or even omit “events” in the search here to see how Google finds the events anyway.

You can expedite the process possibly by asking Google to crawl your site again https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/6065812?hl=en.

Ultimately, Google will do whatever it wants. I’ve had some personal success by additionally using and configuring each event with https://wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-schemaorg-rich-snippets/. JSON-LD and Schema are both ways to pass the markups on to Google.

Is there anything else I can help you with?

Thanks
Courtney 🙂
