Santa
Clara, CA – January 2018 / Newsmaker Alert / Digital Marketing
software vendor Milestone
Inc. has launched new features for its local events publishing platform.
The events platform, part of Milestone’s Digital Presence Cloud, allows
businesses to add local events to their website manually, or by accepting
events from nearby locations|–|automatically.
“Milestone’s events management platform provides massive SEO boosts to
businesses,” said Sathya Krishnamurthy, Milestone VP of Products. “A business
in Chicago could accept Chicago Cubs games and instantly add 81 locally-relevant
pages to their website,” continued Mr. Krishnamurthy. Milestone events
wraps each deployed event in schemas and publishes each one on an individual
page, creating exceptional SEO opportunities for location-based businesses.
Until now this capability
has only been available to users of Milestone’s CMS platform, but Milestone
is expanding the platform by allowing customers to leverage Milestone’s
local events capabilities non-Milestone CMS websites as well as by adding
new social channels. The expanded social networks supported and the ability
to be deployed on non-Milestone websites means that now any location-based
business can deploy the same type of SEO-boosting technology used by Online
Travel Agent (OTA) websites.

website through the close integration between Milestone Local and Milestone
