Google has revamped search results for events on its app and the mobile web, making it easier to learn about events you’re familiar with and discover new, intriguing ones.
The tech giant will pull information from sites such as Eventbrite and Meet-up to provide detailed snippets about events in search results.
The feature is reportedly live now. By typing queries like “jazz concerts in Austin” or “art events this weekend” into a mobile search, users can access it. However, it appears to be available only in the US for now, so I have not been able to test it from Canada.
”With a single tap, you’ll see at-a-glance details about various options, like the event title, date and time, and location. You can tap “more events” to see additional options. Once you find one that’s up your alley, tap it to find more details or buy tickets directly from the website.”
Google will also allow you to filter results by time periods, so you can search for events happening today, tomorrow, next week, next month, and so on.
To appear in Google’s new style of event search results, events must be marked up correctly using events structured data.
