News Organizations
Pain Points Solved
Running a community event calendar shouldn’t be a full-time job—but for most news organizations, it feels like one.
- Staff spend countless hours searching websites, social media, and emails just to find events.
- Even after all that work, you’re never sure if you’ve caught everything.
- When events change, you’re responsible for chasing updates.
- And with only a handful of listings, the page often feels too thin to be a go-to destination.
The result? Missed opportunities for engagement, lost advertising potential, and a calendar that doesn’t quite live up to its promise.
The Solution: Yodel’s Automated Event Collection System
Yodel uses AI to automatically find, organize, and deliver nearly every public event happening in your community.
- No more manual entry. No more guesswork.
- Events update themselves when changes happen.
- You stay in control: easily set the rules for which types of events appear—by organization, category, keyword, and more.
Why it Works
With a truly comprehensive calendar:
- Your site becomes the one place locals trust to find everything happening nearby.
- Returning visitors increase.
- New advertising and sponsorship opportunities open up—right on your event page.
- Local event calendars are the 2nd most popular page on local news sites
- And, people spend 3 times the amount of time on the event calendar page than any other page. Â
