Posting multiple events – SEO conflict

[Attila]

when we are posting an event which repeats for example every week, right now the program is creating a “new” event for every week. in this case we are having problem with our SEO score because:
1. the title remaining the same for every event each week
2. the content is the same
3. focus keyword is the same
4. Meta description is the same
is it possible to create a single event with multiple dates without to have these problems?
thanks

Hi and welcome 🙂

Do you have a Google Webmaster account set up and tied to your site? Do you have an SEO-focused plugin such as Yoast WordPress SEO? Our recurring events include structured data so that Google can tell it is a series of events tied together. Due to the dates being different and the structured data indicating to Google it is an event part of a series appears to appease Google’s bot preferences/requirements. I was unable find any documentation stating our approach is bad practice. Additionally, we do not a large amount of users saying Google is penalizing their site for recurring events.

Please let me know what you find after spending some time in your Google Webmaster account and include your System Information as a private reply. Thanks and take care!
