Live event SEO
I do technical SEO for the live event business — venues, nightclubs, promoters, festivals, and the people who book them. Before this I spent 25 years on the production side, running AV, broadcast, and live crews. I know what a hold is, why the on-sale date matters more than the event date, and what happens to a listing when a show moves.

I separate what search engines document from what the industry merely believes. If a recommendation is common practice rather than published guidance, I say so.
