# How to Post an Event on your Publisher site

## Use this guide to make your event posts clear, engaging, and easy to find!

Available on the Locable Publishing Platform

 

Posting an event is a pretty simple and straightforward process. To start, click New \> Event and then add the event details.

### **Title**

This is critical for **readership**, **social media engagement**, and **SEO**. Keep it **clear and simple**, but include enough detail so people know what it’s about. Include **keywords or phrases** your audience is likely to search for or recognize.

### **Summary** *(Optional)*

Use this as a **subtitle** to quickly highlight key additional details, like headliners, special guests, or quick facts.

### **Image**

Use a **photo** that reflects the **vibe of the event**—such as people enjoying a past event, the venue, or a relevant scene.

Avoid uploading a **flyer** as your main image. Here's why:

- Flyers are packed with text that often gets **cut off or becomes unreadable**, especially on mobile.
- Text in images **can’t be read by screen readers**, which means it is **not ADA-compliant**.
- It may look unprofessional or cluttered in listings or on social platforms.

✅ **Instead:**  
Upload a **clean, high-quality photo** and—if you want to share the flyer—attach it as a **downloadable PDF** or link to it from the event details section.

### **Start Date & Time**

Set the event’s **start date** using the calendar picker. Include the **start and end time** (hour and minute). If there’s no end time, check the **"Has no end time"** box.

### **Repetition**

- If the event is **one-time**, select **Does Not Repeat**.
- For recurring events, choose either:
  
    - **Daily/Weekly**: Select which days of the week it repeats.
    - **Monthly**: Choose which week(s) of the month it occurs.

### **Location**

You can choose from:

- **Previously Used Locations**
- **Your Public Places/Non-Businesses**
- **Your Businesses/Venues**
- **Online/Virtual Event**

If the location isn’t listed, click **Add a New Location**—it’ll be saved for future use.

### **Details**

This is the core content of your event post—help people quickly understand what it is and why they should attend. It doesn’t have to be long; bullet points are great!

**Include:**

- What’s happening (activities, entertainment, special guests)
- Who it’s for (families, adults, kids, etc.)
- Why it’s worth attending
- Any important notes (bring a chair, register ahead, etc.)

**Optional but helpful:**

- A website link for more info or tickets
- Contact phone number
- Pricing details (including if it’s free)

Keep it clear, friendly, and easy to scan—this is your chance to get people excited!

### **Meta Data**

- **Event Categories**: Choose the relevant **age group(s)**.
- **Participating Businesses**: Tag any related businesses or venues.
- **Tags**: Add any of your **defined tags** to help group this event with similar posts.

### ✅ **Final Step**

Click **Create Event** to save and publish your post!
