• Optimize Your Event Page 

Once you are land on the configuration window, you’ll be able to change the different parameters and see them getting reflected in the Search Result Preview at the top. Here are the parameters that you need to optimize for maximum results: 

• Meta Title

This is the title of your event page that will be the first thing everyone will notice in the search result. Whichever keywords you use in your meta title have to also appear in your event page content for maximum optimization. 

Stick to the event theme while using trigger keywords your potential audience is most likely to search for. Also, keep the title length less than 60 characters because titles overshooting the limit get truncated by Google. 

• Meta Description

This will be a short summary of your event or shows which will be displayed in search results. Make your summary keyword-rich and informative so that potential audiences are compelled to click and land on your events page. Again, limit it to 160 characters because Google will most likely truncate it if it exceeds that limit.
