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. ![](https://help.locable.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-01-2025-02-05-53-5776-PM.png?width=1891&height=3246&name=image-png-May-01-2025-02-05-53-5776-PM.png)   ### **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!
