Note: this article covers Event creative posts for social media and your blog. If you're looking for sending event-based Email Campaigns through Constant Contact, that's a separate feature covered in its own article.
Event posts are a type of AI creative post that showcases local events happening in your area, complete with your branding and your avatar. What makes them special is that you don't need to do any research: roomvu's engine automatically retrieves real events happening soon in the location set on your account. We handle both the topics and the creation. You only pick the event.
Why Event Posts Matter
The goal of posting content on social media and your website is to introduce yourself as the local expert. Event posts do this on two levels:
For your audience: by sharing what's happening in your area, you show that you know the community, and you genuinely help your followers, which is exactly the kind of educational, valuable content that builds trust.
For AI engines and search: this is the part most agents underestimate. As AI engines crawl the web and find location-specific content tied to your name, local events, neighborhood FAQs, and similar posts, they begin to register you as the local expert for that area. When people ask AI tools about your market, that recognition is invaluable. Event posts work hand in hand with other location-driven content like Neighborhood FAQ posts to build this authority.
roomvu schedules these posts on your social media and also publishes them on your roomvu-hosted blog, feeding both your audience and the engines that crawl the web.
How to Create an Event Post
There are two ways:
Method 1: From the main dashboard
Click Events on your main dashboard
Method 2: From the Content Calendar
Go to your Content Calendar
Click Add Content (or click Create Content on any day in the calendar)
Under the Create Your Own section, pick Events
You'll see a list of events retrieved for your area, pick one
Customize the Prompt (Highly Recommended)
Once you've picked an event, you'll see a default prompt that the AI engine uses to create the post. You can use it as-is, but we highly recommend editing it and adding your own unique input, a personal angle, your take on the event, why your audience should care. Your input makes the content genuinely unique to you, which matters both for your audience and for how distinctive your content looks to the engines.
When you're happy with the prompt, click Create Content. This charges 20 AI Credits, and in a few minutes your post is ready, scheduled on your social media, and shared on your blog.
Important: Blog Publishing Requires Your Own Domain
Event posts are published to your blog only if your roomvu website runs on your own domain.
Here's why: if your website is on roomvu's hosted domain, the content, although branded to you, would still live on roomvu's domain, which does nothing for your search rankings. For the SEO and AI-engine benefits to flow to you, the content has to live on a domain you own. Connect your domain to your roomvu website, and your event posts (and other blog content) start building authority under your own name and address.
