It is important to include a strong description when you create your event. Strong descriptions contain information that will attract would-be event seekers and new patrons. People can find events using Google. The search engine website has a feature called Google Event Finder, which is able to detect when someone is searching for an event and provides them with the most accurate results based on certain search terms and keywords provided in the event description. To maximize your searchability, consider the following when you construct descriptions for your events:
Title/Event Name
Be clever, extra points for originality. Do a quick online search to see if there are other events with the same name. Make sure yours is unique.
Location/Venue
Where should people park? Is parking free? Include a link to directions if you are able.
Date & Time
Mention if the event will take place rain or shine. Maybe even provide information on where people can check on this.
Image
A picture is worth a thousand words, pick one that will leave a lasting impression. For example, it can be funny, fun, colorful, or funky.
Word Count
Try to write a great description of your event in 300-500 words.
Host(s)
Are you co-hosting the event with another group or organization? Be sure to mention it in the description and use it to cross promote and get the attention of a larger audience.
Ticket Information
Clarify the ticket price, if there are multiple types of tickets, and list the associated costs. When do the tickets go on sale?
