Eventbrite - Google 検索を活用したイベント検索機能により、トラフィックが 100% 増加
公開日: 2018 年 5 月 8 日
課題
Eventbrite は、世界最大のイベント テクノロジー プラットフォームで、180 以上の国や地域で数百万単位のイベントを推進しています。2015 年、Eventbrite の検索エンジン最適化(SEO)チームは、各イベント クリエイターのイベントをオンラインで見やすく、見つけやすくするために、ウェブサイトで Event 構造化データを活用する取り組みを始めました。このような技術と経験を持っていたため、2017 年 5 月に Google が新しいモバイル向けイベント検索機能の運用を開始した際、Eventbrite は完全に対応することができました。Eventbrite でプロダクト マネージャーを務める Allen Jilo 氏は、「私たちは SEO チームの取り組みに大きな可能性を見いだしていました」と話します。「そして、Google がイベント検索向けに schema.org マークアップを活用し始めた頃、イベントの検索結果の表示が変わったことに気が付きました。私たちは、イベント検索機能を拡充するために Google と密接に協力したいと考えるようになりました」。
ソリューション
Event 構造化データを活用した新しい検索機能により、ユーザーは Google 検索や Google マップなどの各種サービスでイベントを見つけやすくなります。また、Google 検索のエンリッチ リザルトでは、高度なインタラクティブ機能を利用できることが多く、ユーザーは、Google 検索を離れることなく、特定の操作(イベントの詳細の表示など)を行うことができます。たとえば、ユーザーが「デンバーで行われるコンサート」を検索すると、イベントのエンリッチ リザルトに対応している地域であれば、没入型のイベント検索ページが表示されます。

Their search engine optimization (SEO) team began using\n[`Event` structured data](/search/docs/appearance/structured-data/event)\non their website in 2015 to boost the online visibility and discoverability of creator's\nevents. This made them perfectly prepared to participate in Google's new search experience\nfor events on mobile when it launched in May 2017. \"We had seen some great traction through\nour SEO efforts,\" says Allen Jilo, an Eventbrite product manager. \"Around the time Google\nstarted to leverage the schema.org markup for events, we noticed that events were showing up\nin search results in a different way. We were interested in working more closely with Google\non scaling that.\"\n\nSolution\n--------\n\n\nThe new search experience, which leverages `Event` structured data,\nhelps users find events through Google Search and other products such as Google Maps. In\naddition, [enriched search\nresults](/search/docs/appearance/enriched-search-results) often include advanced interactive features, which let users perform certain\nactions (such as viewing event details) while still in Search. For example, if a user\nsearches for \"concerts in Denver,\" an immersive-event discovery experience appears in\nmarkets where the enriched event search is active.\n\n\nEventbrite's SEO team followed Google's [event\ndocumentation](/search/docs/appearance/structured-data/event) when implementing `Event` structured data more\nwidely across their website. Working with a base template, \"the actual implementation time\nwasn't too long at all,\" Jilo says. The team made only minor tweaks to their structured data\nafterward, and found the events experience to be extremely scalable. Now, any event published\nacross [Eventbrite](https://www.eventbrite.com/) has structured data markup, and\nconsumers in the US will be shown the enriched search results, allowing them to more easily\nbrowse and discover things to do. Eventbrite also used [Search Console](https://search.google.com/search-console)\nand [Structured Data Testing Tool](https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/u/0/) to eliminate any errors in the markup data.\n\n\nAfter adding Google recommended structured data [properties](/search/docs/appearance/structured-data/event),\nthe team ran tests on various event pages. \"Because of the structured data, Google was able\nto surface the event date, venue, and other key details to make the information stand out from\nother search results,\" Jilo says. \"Initially, we weren't exactly sure what benefits we would\nsee.\"\n\nResult\n------\n\n\nMultiple ongoing SEO projects can make it difficult to determine exactly what results in\nincreased traffic, conversions, or sales. But Eventbrite believes the Google Event search\nexperience has been effective. Jilo carefully delineates the results: \"In the month following\nimplementation of the new search experience, we saw roughly a 100-percent increase in the\ntypical year-over-year growth of traffic from Google Search to our event listing pages,\naccording to Google Analytics.\" The enriched search experience \"definitely has been helpful\nfor driving traffic and getting additional ticket sales.\" \n100~%~\n\nIncrease in the typical YOY growth of traffic from Google Search to event listing pages, according to Google Analytics\n\n\n\"Within two or three weeks we started seeing a visual difference in our event search\nresults on Google,\" Jilo says. \"The Google Search experience definitely helps drive more\neyeballs to event pages. And when those people convert, it translates to incremental\nticket sales for our event creators.\"\n\n\nHaving implemented `Event` structured data on their primary discovery\npages, Eventbrite expects to keep this functionality on any new discovery page types. \"We\ncertainly will be looking at adding `Event` structured data on\nthose pages as well,\" Jilo says. \"The Google search experience for events has definitely been\na positive step.\""]]
