Every event we publish needs a link that lets families see the date, time, location, and description. Don’t have a website page for your event? Here’s how to create one — and how to make sure it works before you submit.
When you have the choice, build your event on your business or organization account — not an individual’s personal one. Business accounts reach a wider audience, let multiple people make updates, and keep the event from disappearing if the person who set it up moves on.
- Facebook Event
Easiest and free — recommended for every event. Create the event from your Facebook Page, not a personal profile, and set it to Public. People without a Facebook account may still miss some details. - Eventbrite
Best for collecting RSVPs and registrations; it’s visible to everyone, regardless of social media accounts. Register under your business or organization name, so families recognize who’s hosting, and you can add teammates later. Free to use if your event is free — if you sell tickets, Eventbrite charges a fee on each one. - Google Calendar
Fastest free option when no website page is available. Use a shared business or team calendar rather than a personal one, and make that calendar public before the event link will work for anyone else. - Google Business Profile Event
Best for maximum visibility — your event appears on Google Search and Maps for local discovery. Requires a verified Google Business Profile, so this option isn’t available to everyone.
Open your event link in a private or incognito browser window. If you can’t see the date, time, location, and description without logging in, we can’t use it.
This is the most common reason a submission gets held up — the link works perfectly for the person who created it, but not for anyone else.
Plans change, and you’re responsible for posting last-minute updates or cancellation notices. To save a headache down the road, before you submit, jot down:
- Platform
Which tool did you use (e.g., Facebook, Eventbrite)? - Account
Which business account, Page, or profile owns the event? - Login
Where is the login saved (password manager, shared team account)? - Event link
Save the final public link for easy sharing.
