# The visit has a venue, a date, and a reason to go.

Search for venues, attractions, and events: the place, the date, and the visit you still sell. SEO, AEO, GEO, and AIO.
Someone searches a show, a park, a class, or what is on this weekend.

An undated page that says fun for everyone loses to the venue that named the event and when it ends.

## Last season’s event is still the page you rank.

Recreation queries are a place and a time. A venue wants the neighborhood and the hours. An event wants the date, the age, and the price band you will publish. A class wants the schedule. One homepage titled entertainment answers none of them, and a city guide that lists “best things to do” in towns you do not operate is a doorway page.

Expired events are the trust problem. A model asked what is on this weekend will quote a page that still looks current. If the show closed in May, that citation is wrong. We do not invent attendance, a ranking, or a “number one attraction” line.

## Place, date, and who it is for.

The venue, the event, and the ongoing attraction are different URLs.

### Venue

comedy club downtown hours

The address, the hours, and what is on the calendar this week. The profile uses the same name.

### Event

outdoor concert this Saturday

The date, the venue, and the age or bag rules. When the night is over, the page is marked past or consolidated.

### Attraction

indoor playground for young kids

Ages, hours, and what the ticket includes. A slogan about family fun is not the page.

### Class

beginner climbing class schedule

The days, the level, and the sessions that are full. An undated list of activities will not be the citation.

## A calendar a visitor can trust.

The venue page stays. The event page carries a date and an end.

### Venue apart from the event

The place has hours and an address. Each show or class has its own URL with a date. They link. They do not share one evergreen headline.

### An end for past dates

When the event is over, the page says so and drops from the “this weekend” internal links. Leaving it live as if it were current teaches answers the wrong week.

### Who the visit is for

Age, level, and the rules you enforce sit in the opening. A page for every city you do not operate in does not.

### A price you will publish

If you show a price, it has a date and what it includes. “Cheapest tickets” with no window is not a price.


## What is at stake

- **What the visit needs.** A venue, a date, and who it is for.
- **URL that should own it.** The event or the place. Not a city guide.
- **What misquotes the weekend.** A show that ended and still reads as current.

## This weekend still points at May.

Someone asks what is on Saturday. The strongest page is an undated entertainment story, plus an event that closed months ago. A publisher with a calendar gets the citation. The venue’s hours never make it into the answer.

## Outdoor concert this Saturday

Place, date, and a boundary. “Fun for everyone” is not a listing.

- The date, the venue, and the age or bag rules.
- A price only with what it includes and the day you checked it.
- When the night is over, the page is marked past and leaves the current calendar.

## Sequence

1. **Split venue and event.** Hours live on the place. Each show or class has a date.
2. **End past dates.** Mark them past and unlink them from this weekend.
3. **Name the audience.** Age, level, and the rules you enforce.
4. **Skip the city guide.** A page exists where you operate. Not in every town you wish you did.

We will not call it the best attraction in the city, or leave an expired event looking like this weekend.

## What we watch

Clicks to event and venue URLs, whether expired dates leave the current calendar, and whether answers cite your listing or a publisher for the weekend question.

A named result is published when that client clears the figure. A client figure is added here only after that client clears it.

## Recreation and entertainment questions

### Should we publish a things-to-do page for every city?

Only if you operate a venue or an event there and the page can say the date and who it is for. A city guide on a shared template is a doorway page.

### How is this different from travel?

Travel is an itinerary: a route, a season, and inclusions. This page is a venue, a show, a class, or an attraction a person attends.

### What happens to old events?

They are marked past and removed from the current calendar. A page that still reads as this weekend, months later, is the one an answer will misquote.

### Can we call it the best attraction in the city?

No. The page can say what the visit includes, the hours, and the age. We will not publish a ranking you cannot source.
