Had an artist’s management point out to us that the Google search results for their band were displaying an incorrect date preview below our event page in the search results (see attached image). After going through and searching for many of our other events we discovered some inconsistent results – where that date\/venue preview is displayed for our shows, it is always off by a day (in the future), but not every event searched displayed the preview. Where there was also a Bandsintown, Songkick or artist website event for the same show also available, that listing took priority and displayed the date correctly. Some events showed neither.<\/p>\n
Using the example referenced above, Nothing @ Slim’s on 6\/21, looking at the code, we found this:<\/p>\n
<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\r\n[{\"@context\":\"http:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"Event\",\"name\":\"Nothing @ Slim\u2019s w\/ Culture Abuse, Wrong\",\"description\":\"<p>Door 7 \/ Show 8 People often wonder why Philadelphia\\u2019s Nothing\\u00a0are so damn loud.

I’m guessing perhaps this is a timezone issue, but I can’t see where it could be originating from. The timezone in WordPress is set to UTC-8 and is set to PDT.<\/p>\n
Any help would be greatly appreciated!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1128203","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\n
