Maximize Your Event’s Reach: Tips for Event Organizers

Why Keywords Matter for Event Visibility

When people search for events online, they use specific keywords to find what interests them. By using the right keywords in your event title, description, and tags, you improve your event’s visibility on Tikiti Zetu, Google, and social media platforms.

For example, someone looking for a music festival in Nairobi might search for:

  • ✅ “Concerts in Nairobi this weekend”
  • ✅ “Best music festivals in Kenya”

If your event includes these keywords, it’s more likely to show up in search results, attracting more attendees.

Best Practices for Using Keywords in Your Event Listing

  • Include Location-Specific Keywords – Many users search for events based on location, e.g., “Events in Nairobi” or “Things to do in Mombasa”.
  • Use Date-Based Keywords – People often look for events happening within a certain timeframe, e.g., “Events this weekend” or “Concerts in September”.
  • Be Specific About the Type of Event – Make sure to describe your event accurately, e.g., “Afrobeat concert” instead of just “music event”.
  • Include Popular Activities & Interests – Keywords like “food festival”, “networking event”, or “family-friendly events” attract specific audiences.
  • Optimize for Trending Searches – If a big artist, speaker, or holiday is involved, mention it! E.g., “New Year’s Eve Party with DJ X”.
