VenueNow’s search experience is designed to quickly and easily match customers with the most relevant and high-quality spaces. Search results are first filtered based on the following criteria:
- Location
- Capacity
- Activity Type(s)
- Space Type(s)
- Room Layout(s)
- Amenities
- Budget/Pricing
If your space does not meet these criteria, it will not appear in the search results. Therefore, it’s essential to provide as much relevant information as possible on your space page, especially regarding pricing, activity types, and capacity/layouts.
Search results are then sorted according to VenueNow’s search algorithm. Several factors contribute to a space’s "quality" score, including:
- Number of photos uploaded (≥ 5) – 20 points
- At least 1 function pack, menu, or offer added – 20 points
- Pricing and availability added – 15 points
- Number of event types selected (≥ 5) – 10 points
- Length of space description (≥ 200 characters) – 10 points
- At least 1 space type selected – 5 points
- At least 1 layout selected – 5 points Space name (≥ 20 characters) – 5 points
Number of amenities selected (≥ 3) – 5 points Show pricing set to true – 5 points Total: 100 points
Other Tips:
1. Double-Check Capacity and Layout If your venue can accommodate both standing and seated events, be sure to specify both options. This allows your space to appear in a wider variety of searches. For example, if your venue holds 100 standing guests but you don’t specify seating capacity, you’ll miss out on searches for smaller capacities (e.g., 50 seated).
2. Use Keywords and Visuals Include relevant keywords in your listing description to highlight your venue’s features. Regularly update your photos and consider adding enhancements like a 3D tour to showcase your space effectively.
3. Consider Boosting Your Space Boosted spaces (through VenueNow’s paid options) rank higher in search results than similar spaces without boosting. If you’re looking for extra visibility, exploring these options might help. If you want more information on improving your ranking, feel free to contact the VenueNow team. By following these steps, you’ll increase your chances of appearing higher in VenueNow’s search results. Additionally, since VenueNow ranks highly on Google, optimising your listing may help your venue appear on the first page of search results.
