The Best Software for Managing Event Listings Automatically

Keeping a community events calendar current used to mean hours of manual data entry, missed happenings, and frustrated website visitors. Yodel changes all that. Purpose‑built for organizations that live or die by timely, accurate event information—Chambers of Commerce, Visitors Bureaus, destination marketing organizations, hotels, newspapers, and radio stations—Yodel scrapes, verifies, and publishes the best activities in your region without you lifting a finger.

Why leading local brands choose Yodel

When online audiences search “What’s happening this weekend?” they expect answers instantly. Yodel’s AI‑driven engine gathers events from hundreds of trusted sources, enriches each listing with SEO‑friendly metadata, and pushes them live – so your site ranks higher for high‑intent keywords while visitors enjoy a one‑stop planning hub. Fewer phone calls to field, more web sessions, and measurable tourism growth: that’s the Yodel effect.

We are ecstatic—they have helped us work smarter, not harder. Since rolling out the solution, Yodel has been with us every step of the way.

Installation in minutes, not months

Whether you manage a custom CMS, WordPress blog, ChamberMaster site, etc… Yodel slides right in:

  1. Copy‑and‑paste widget
    Drop a single code snippet and a fully styled, responsive calendar appears – no dev time required.
  2. iCal feed
    Prefer to keep your existing calendar layout? Use Yodel’s iCal URL and let your current plugin display the fresh data automatically.
  3. Robust REST API
    For digital teams that crave total creative control, our API serves structured JSON so you can design your own interfaces, mobile apps, or kiosk displays.

Use one method or mix all three across multiple properties; every option stays synced from the same master feed.
