Event

Google’s technical guidelines

Each event MUST have a unique URL (a leaf page) and markup on that URL.

Each event must accurately describe the event name, start date, and location.

Required properties

startDate

The start date and start time of the event in ISO-8601 format. Add both the date and time so users can more easily find events that fit into their schedule. For online events, you must specify the timezone by including the UTC or GMT time offset.

For Jo’burg time (GMT+2), the format desired by Google is:

startDate="$(date -d "$startDate" +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S+02:00)"

location

Google wants to limit the type to Place or VirtualLocation, but I prefer more detailed types

If the event happens at multiple locations at the same time, create different events for each location. — Google

name

Google doesn’t want info here that belongs in location.name, performer.name etc.

Don’t use the type of event as the name of the event. For example, “Concert” is not a descriptive name for an event.

Don’t include extraneous information like URLs, prices, or performers. Instead, use the appropriate properties for those values.

description

Don’t repeat other facts like date and location; instead, add that information to the respective properties.

image

URL of an image or logo for the event or tour. Including an image helps users understand and engage with your event. We recommend that images are 1920px wide (the minimum width is 720px).

For best results, we recommend providing multiple high-resolution images (minimum of 50K pixels when multiplying width and height) with the following aspect ratios: 16x9, 4x3, and 1x1.

location.name

Don’t include a city name unless it is a city-wide event.
