How do I set the visibility of my event? From when on and for how long is it visible?

From when on and for how long is my event visible?

If you publish your event, it will be visible immediately and can be found in the event search.

If you want your event to be found in the search only at a certain point in time, you can set this before publication.

You can edit the visibility settings for your event under  «Visibility, display».

Enter the desired date under "Visible from" and click on «Save». You must now click on «Publish» and prepare the publication so that the event can be made visible at the desired time.

How long will my event be visible after publication?

Your event is visible until the event date. If your event takes place regularly, it can be found in the search until the end time. If you do not have an end time, the event can be found in the search up to three hours after the start.

The event, whether past or even cancelled, can be accessed via a direct link 10 days after the event date.

Past events are still listed in the display of event groups. The red marker shows that no more tickets are available. At the same time, the date is in the past.

Visibility with search engines

Events that are published on Eventfrog are automatically SEO-optimised (SEO stands for search engine optimisation). This means that they are found particularly well by search engines and appear in the search results.

However, if you do not want an event to appear on Google, for example, and be found by search engines, you can set this in the cockpit under  «Visibility, Display».

Tick the box «Do not show in the event list».

Please note:

1. If you publish an event as "visible" and subsequently set it to " hidden", the event may continue to appear in Google's search results for a certain period of time. To remove this entry from Google, you must submit a request to Google to delete your page from the searchable index. Instructions >
2. To avoid being found by Google, use the " Hide events" function. This function is only available in the Plus & Pro models, which are subject to a charge. Your event will also be excluded from the Eventfrog search. This means that it can only be accessed via a direct link.

My event in the Eventfrog search

In the Eventfrog search, events are not necessarily sorted by date, but also by the relevance of the filter.

1. If potential ticket buyers search for a specific keyword, the events that have the search term in the title are listed first. This is followed by the events for which the search term is in the event description, and so on.
Therefore, a suitable event title can also have a positive effect on the position of your event in the search.

2.When the user enters a location, the events taking place in the area are listed first in the search results.

3. If you search by date or a time period, events with a start date in this period appear first. If other filters are set, this can also lead to a mix of dates.

4.If you search for a category, only events in this category are displayed.

How can I manage the visibility of my event?

Visibility start

To set up the visibility start, edit your event. Under "Event" in the "Visibility, display" section, you can now enter the desired date under "Visible from". Save this setting.

Click on the green "Publish" button at the top right to publish your event on the date and time you have entered.

Can I hide my event so that it can only be found via a link?

To prevent your event from being displayed in our calendar or even found via Google search, proceed as follows:

Edit your event. Under "Event" in the "Visibility, display" section, you must now tick the "Do not display in the Eventfrog event listing" box. Save this customisation. If you now publish your event, it can only be found via a link or an embed.

If you want to make your event publicly accessible again later, you can simply tick the "Show in Eventfrog's event listing" box.

Please note: If you have published an event as "visible" and only later changed it to "not visible", your event may still be displayed in Google's search results. To remove this entry from Google, you must submit a request to Google to delete your page from the searchable index.
