Displaying Recurring Events as Rich Cards in Google

[Anton]

Hi, I have a bunch of recurring events on our site and would like to make Rich Cards out of them to display in google search rankings. Is there an easy way of doing this?

If not, can someone please provide best instructions to do so. Link etc.

I have been looking at this – https://developers.google.com/search/docs/data-types/events but not as user friendly as I would have hoped.

I apologise if this has been covered in the documentation earlier.

What I am thinking is that I need to include all the following information for each event in the header of each event page as a script:

https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool

I was going to repeat the information for each event in this testing tool then include the script in the header section for each page.If this is correct would I need to tap e in each detail or is there away to copy and paste from the individual event page, or better yet. Is there a button I can tick that says ‘make rich card out of this event’? The last option would be the ideal option, If this is not in development yet, will it be soon,

I am using a wordpress plugin – https://wordpress.org/plugins/per-page-add-to/ to add the script. I will wait for a response before I start testing my theory.

This seems like a long approach (and maybe not even correct) so lease let me know.

Appreciate your help!

Hi, Anton. Nice ‘stash!

First, I’ll say that we already output all the JSON+LD data that https://developers.google.com/search/docs/data-types/events refers to. You can use their Structured Data Testing Tool to double-check. You can try any of your site’s event URLs, such as a single event or an event archive.

Second, I’m unclear exactly what you mean by making rich cards. Are you thinking of adding a brand new “card” type layout to the Tribe Bar view switcher (like Month, List, Photo, Card)?

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
