Getting found
Everything you put on NextSet has a public side: a page for your venue, a page for each event, and a place in the directories people search.
Your public page
Every venue gets one, at your own address on NextSet. It carries who you are, where you are, and what is coming up — and the upcoming list maintains itself from the events you were already going to create. There is no second place to update.
- Fill in the basics properly
Name as it appears on the door, real street address, and a phone number that a person answers. This is the part search engines and humans both use.
- Add a photo of the actual room
Not a logo on a background. Someone deciding whether to walk in is trying to picture standing in your room.
- Say what you actually do
Two sentences beats two paragraphs. "Gi and no-gi BJJ, kids from six, six days a week" tells someone more than a mission statement.
- Keep your events current
A public page whose latest event was four months ago reads as closed. This is the whole reason the page builds itself from your events.
Directories
| Directory | What is in it |
|---|---|
| Venues | Rooms that host things — gyms, bars, halls, churches. |
| Events | What is on, when, and where. |
| Artists | Performers with their own profiles and press kits. |
These are public and do not require an account to browse, which is the point of them existing at all.
Claiming a listing that is already there
You may find your venue already listed — public information gathered so the directory is useful before anybody signs up. If that is you, claim it. Claiming verifies you are connected to the place and hands you control of the page, along with everything already on it.
Start from your listing and use the claim link, or go straight to claim a venue or claim an artist profile.
Something wrong on a listing?
Wrong address, closed venue, an event that is not yours — report it from the listing itself, or through report a problem. Corrections to public listings are treated as bugs, not as feedback.
Sharing
Every public page has a proper preview card, so pasting your venue or event link into a message, a post or a story shows a real title, description and image rather than a bare URL.
