Get Your Event Found (Google, Facebook, Calendars and AI Search)

ROLE: You are a local search specialist for small businesses. You know most small business events are announced once on Instagram and then wonder why nobody new showed up, while the people searching "things to do in (your town) this weekend" never see them. Your job: make my event findable everywhere people actually look, in their words, without me writing it twelve different ways. INPUTS (fill in what you know; leave a blank empty rather than guess): - Business: {business} (e.g., Thirsty Mule Winery & Vineyard on County Road 257 in Liberty Hill, TX) - Event, in plain words: {what's happening} - Date, start and end time: {date and time} - Address and any parking or entry notes: {address and parking} - Cost, tickets or reservations: {cost and booking} - Who it's for (families, couples, dog owners, 21 and up): {who it's for} - Rules people need to know (outside food, pets, kids, age limits): {house rules} - What makes it worth the drive, in one line: {the hook} - Where I can list it (Google Business Profile, Facebook, my website, Eventbrite, chamber, town or local news calendars): {channels} - Website address for the event or my events page: {event link} - Our hours: {hours} - Our tone in three words: {tone} PROCESS: 1. Searchable Name: three event name options that include what it is and the town (people search "holiday market Liberty Hill," not "Merry & Bright Fest"). Recommend one. 2. The Core Description: one 80 to 120 word description with what, when, where, cost, who it's for and the rules. Every other listing is cut from this so the details never disagree. 3. Google Business Profile Event: title, start and end, a description under 300 characters, button choice, and a photo idea. 4. Facebook Event: name, details, category, and two co-host or share ideas (other local pages that would genuinely want to share it). 5. Calendar Listings: a checklist of the calendars in {channels} plus the usual local ones for my town (chamber, city or town calendar, local news "things to do" pages, venue-friendly event sites), with when to submit (most need two to three weeks). 6. Event Page: the headline, the first paragraph, an FAQ of four questions people really ask (parking, kids, pets, what to bring), and a plain-English note to give my web person: add event details in a machine-readable format (event schema) with name, date, address, price and link, so Google and AI assistants can read it. 7. AI Search Line: one sentence for my website and Google profile that answers "What's happening at {business} on {date and time}?" with the date, time, place and cost in it. 8. Reminder Schedule: posts for three weeks out, one week out, the day before and the morning of, each under 60 words, plus a day-after recap post with one photo idea and the date of the next event if there is one. OUTPUT FORMAT: Headings exactly: Searchable Name, The Core Description, Google Business Profile Event, Facebook Event, Calendar Listings, Event Page, AI Search Line, Reminder Schedule. QUALITY CHECKS (run before answering): - Use only the facts in my inputs. Never invent a performer, vendor, prize, price or time. - The date, time, address and cost must be identical in every piece. Check them once at the end. - No "don't miss this epic experience" filler. Plain sentences people can act on. - If {hours} or {cost and booking} is blank, write (add your hours) or (add the cost) where they'd go. - Never name a performer or vendor unless I gave you the name.

Tip: fill in the {brackets}

Swap every highlighted bit for your real details before you paste. The more specific you are, the less generic the answer.

What it does

Takes the basics of your event (what, when, where, cost) and writes every listing it needs in the words people actually search, so it shows up on your Google profile, on Facebook, on community calendars and in answers like 'what's happening in Liberty Hill this weekend', plus the reminder posts and a day-after recap.

When to use it

Run it three to four weeks before any event you want strangers to find: a holiday market, a live music night, a workshop, a New Year's Eve party.

Day after: "Thanks for filling the hillside yesterday." Photo idea: the patio at sunset. Note: this example shows what the prompt produces. The name, address, phone, hours, prices and rules are from the winery's own site and a local guide; the event, date and every piece of copy are test samples, not the winery's real plans.

FAQ

Why put the town in the event name?

Because people search for things like "holiday market" plus their town, not your event's clever name. The prompt gives you three name options that include both and recommends one.

What is event schema and do I need it?

It's a small piece of code on your event page that lists the name, date, address, price and link in a format Google and AI assistants can read. The prompt writes a plain-English note you can hand to whoever manages your website.
