Google Search Console Pitfalls & Critical Warnings
Avoid these 3 common validation traps, parser errors, and algorithmic policy penalties when deploying BusinessEvent schema.
Missing Complete PostalAddress inside Place Location
Supplying only the venue name string without streetAddress, locality, and postalCode.
Provide full PostalAddress including country and region within the Place location node.
Omitted Timezone Offset in startDate / endDate
Writing dates as local without offset (e.g., '2026-11-12T09:00:00' instead of with '-08:00').
Always append explicit timezone offsets (+00:00 or -08:00) to ISO timestamps.
Missing Offer Registration URL or Price Currency
Omitting priceCurrency or url on ticketing Offer nodes.
Include valid priceCurrency (ISO 4217) and direct checkout url.
