Hi, I have two questions:
1) Does the calendar SEO (search engine optimized)? For example, on event details page, the event title isnot
as it should be
2) Does the calendar have rich snippets data / schema mark up? That’s important for SEO.Considering the PRO version of the calendar — the above 2 things are A MUST!
please let me know
Hey Vlad,
I’m not sure what you posted in regards to the events title – it seems like maybe some HTML you posted was cut off by our filters. It seemed like you were writing this: “the event title is X not Y as it should be”, where X and Y would be code examples…
Can you try posting the code examples in Gists at http://gist.github.com and then try explaining this point again?
Thank you!

Now as for your general questions here:
Yes, The Events Calendar and all of its add-ons have Valid HTML output and so work well with your site and with the rendering of the HTML on your page. This is the only role their code will play in “SEO” – “SEO” beyond this is really about regular, consistent content from a site over long periods of times that other websites link to, and so The Events Calendar itself will essentially have no impact on “SEO” beyond the content. If you are concerned about h1 tags or h2 being used for page titles, and stuff like that, then you can customize the calendar code to achieve your goals. We cannot help you with customizing code here on the forums at all, but the process is well documented in our Themer’s Guide here → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/
Finally, as for schema/rich snippets: by default The Events Calendar indeed uses Google’s Structured Data format, and so works well with its rich Events snippets and such. The only way this could be muddled with is if your theme is badly coded and breaks the formatting, which is not likely.
I hope this all helps!
