When potential customers are searching for events near them, it’s vital that your event is listed on the website they eventually land on. The exact website which appears for their search is determined by Google’s ever changing algorithm.

It’s unlikely that if a visitor searches for ‘London gigs‘ that an individual event brand’s website will appear, as Google will favour large brands with comprehensive results. As such, you need to ensure you’re listed on the website that most visitors are likely to visit.

Skiddle have invested heavily in this area, and with our recent website updates, we thought we’d share some of these results with you.
