Language Of The Internet
Many countries have unique languages/dialects as does the "internet" and SEO (search engine optimization) is speaking "the language of the internet."
Listing exhibitions on your website is easy. But there is zero chance of Google promoting your exhibitions without using the "language of the internet."
Schema is the exact language of the internet created by Google. And when you use Google's preferred schema you create an opportunity for Google to feature your work to thousands of collectors.
Creating Instagram content is preaching to the choir, an "echo chamber" with diminishing returns for many emergent artists. HOWEVER, Google is the place where you can meet new collectors. And our publishing process is the exact process used by only the most presitgious (and well funded) art organizations like MOMA NYC and Whitney Museum.
Rich Snippets are the way that Google features content at the TOP of the search listings. Click on the images below for rich Snippets on Google (by xzib.com).
