Optimizing SEO for the Events Details Page

By default, the SEO title tag and URL for the Events Details page of your event is taken from your event name and site name. The page description is taken from the first lines of the "About Your Event" text.
So by default, this page...
...would look like this in Google search results:

You can customize the title tag and meta description and change the default URL of the page.

To Optimize the Events Details Page's meta tags:

  1. Go to the Published Events tab in your site's dashboard.
  2. Click the More Actions icon  next to the relevant event.

  3. Select Edit SEO Settings.
  4. Customize any of the following SEO settings: 
    • URL slug: This text is the last part of your page's URL. You should only change this if it's necessary to reflect the content of your page. We recommend keeping it short and easy to read
    • Automatically redirect visits from the old URL to the new one: When you change an event's URL slug, you can choose to let Wix automatically redirect visitors who try to use the old URL to the new URL. Alternatively, you can disable this toggle and manually create your own redirect.
    • Title tag: Add a title tag that summarizes the content of the page. Enter your title tag as it is meant to appear on search engines results.
    • Meta description: Add a short meta description of the content on the page. This description helps users decide if the Event is relevant to them.
  5. Click the Let search engines index this page toggle to set whether search engines can crawl and index your page or not: 
    • Enabled: Search engines will index your page. People can find your page when searching keywords and phrases in search engines.
    • Disabled: Search engines will not index your page. People cannot find your page when searching keywords and phrases in search engines.
  6. Click Save.
Tip:
You can use your site's SEO Settings to apply the same SEO logic to many Event Details pages at the same time. You can also view and edit all of the URL slugs and meta tags for your pages on the Edit by Page tab.
