SEO Checklist:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/strong> Mobile-Friendly Design<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

SEO-Friendly URL<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

To create a simple and friendly URL structure (like the one shown below), consistency and clarity are key. Some quick tips include adding readable words in place of long ID numbers, using hyphens to separate your words and incorporating highly-targeted keywords to guarantee easy readability for search engines.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/strong> HTTPS Security<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Make sure to leverage HTTPS across all URLs on your site to help ensure security for your users and protect the integrity of your website. You can rest assured that all of your Ticketmaster event URLs start with HTTPS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/strong> Page Speed<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A quicker page speed will help maintain fan engagement, minimize exit rates and improve rankings in search results.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/strong>Linking Opportunities<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Place links throughout your site as they promote content discovery and play a key role in improving your SEO ranking. Consider links to prior successful events, a link to the hosting venue or a link to the corresponding Facebook Official Event \u2013 the opportunities are limitless!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
