Highlight keynote speakers, performers, and hosts along with professional pictures that resonate with the problems that potential audiences face. You can embed links to articles and videos that relate to your topic and how attending your event will benefit the attendees.
Your event page should include the schedule, agenda, bio of speakers, and sign-up links along with information about the sponsors and RSVP options.
Using keywords is a common strategy and rightly so, because of its effectiveness in virtual marketing. Include relevant keywords in your promotional page and captions. You can use Google search to find the most searched words related to your event and use it to boost exposure. Look for words with similar phrases and take note of “autocompletes,” “people also ask” results, and the “search results” that show up at the bottom of the SERP.
