    Hi.
    I want my events to be indexed in Google as well as the one in the photo:

    I have all the events loaded in The Events Calendar with all the respective data but Google does not show them. I also have Google Search Console. I would like to know what I should apply to my site so that Google reads the events and shows them that way.

    In the google docs I found this:
    If you use a CMS (for example, WordPress) and you don’t have access to your HTML, check with your CMS to see if there’s a plugin that can add structured data to your site for you. Alternatively, you can use the Data Highlighter to tell Google about your events without editing the HTML of your site

    For some reason the Data Highlighter doesnt recognize my session so I cant work with that

    What would be the complement that I should add?
    Thank you.

    Hi @craaaam,

    Thank you for your questions, that’s an important topic to learn about.

    The Events Calendar plugin already provides the correct Event schema markup needed for rich results like that, but only the correct application of the schema markup doesn’t guarantee event snippets will appear.

    Note that having Google show those rich snippets on the Search Engine Results Page is not something you or we can have total control over, as it doesn’t depend only on the technical aspects of the schema markup.

    To have that rich snippet being applied to your site, Google needs to consider your website to be trustworthy. The best way to achieve that is to have a good volume of content of that type (Events) on your website and pay attention to the Google Search Console reports to fix any technical issues your website may have.

    Also, note that the reports on the Page indexing report section of the Google Search Console are not always errors, sometimes it’ll only show you some warnings to let you know how Google is interpreting something and that interpretation can be correct – so not exactly being an error.

    Please let us know if you need any additional help.

    Best Regards.
