Meetup Tip of the Month
The best way to boost discoverability of your Meetup events is by putting relevant keywords in your event’s title and description (for example, “WordPress”). When writing your event description, be concise and specific. Include the same relevant keyword in your event title and at least twice in your description. The more you use a searchable keyword, the easier it will be for members to find your event.
A special thank you to our Global Sponsors: Bluehost, GoDaddy, Automattic, WPBeginner, and WooCommerce!
If you have any questions, Community Team Program Supporters are here to help. Please email us at [email protected] or join the #community-events Slack channel.
