Hi
I’ve just found out about Google Knowledge Graph and how it displays upcoming events. I would like my events to feature in these search results. So far google says I need to add a markup such as:
<script type=”application/ld+json”>
{
“@context”: “http://schema.org”,
“@type”: “Event”,
“name”: “Example Band goes to San Francisco”,
“startDate” : “2013-09-14T21:30”,
“url” : “http://example.com/tourdates.html”,
“location” : {
“@type” : “Place”,
“sameAs” : “http://www.hi-dive.com”,
“name” : “The Hi-Dive”,
“address” : “7 S. Broadway, Denver, CO 80209”
}
}
</script>
but I was wondering if there is a way of doing this somehow via the events calendar itself?
Thanks in advance!Hi!
We actually already have some JSON for Linking Data in place in relation to events – is this failing to meet your needs here?
It is certainly something that can be adapted via the tribe_google_event_data filter hook if you do need to change it 🙂
Let me know if that helps!
Sorry for my ignorance but I’m new to all this! How do I go about getting my events within my events calendar to appear on Google’s knowledge graph?
Thanks again for your help, much appreciated!No problem at all, Linda – I think we’re all constantly learning about these things 🙂
The first thing I’d note is that – just as with search results – this is all in the hands of a third party service and even if Google is consuming the JSON-LD data that doesn’t necessarily mean it will include it in those places the knowledge graph is exposed.
To turn the question around, can you give me some examples of where you expect your events to be included in knowledge-graph related results, but do not – for instance, are you testing this by asking the Google app specific questions but finding your events are not included?
Can you provide examples of those questions if so?
