The system first searches the Todo.Today places database. If the place already exists, the existing place is used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the place does not exist, Todo.Today searches Google Maps and creates a new place using the Google Place information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Place Pages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every place automatically receives its own page on Todo.Today that displays:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Place information<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Location details + Link to Google Maps<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Upcoming events taking place there<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Place pages only display upcoming events (past events are not shown).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Purpose of Place Pages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Place pages exist primarily to organize events by location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They help explorers discover what is happening at a specific venue and help prevent duplicate venue records across the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Place pages are system-generated and are not designed to build followers or communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this reason, users cannot follow place pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Claiming a Place<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Venue owners and authorized representatives can <a href=\"https:\/\/todo.today\/guides\/claiming-your-venue\/\" data-type=\"guide\" data-id=\"104765\">claim a place<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The claim process connects a place to a Creator Channel. The Creator Channel becomes the official public representation of the venue on Todo.Today. Visitors are no longer shown the system-generated place page. Instead, all visits to that place are automatically redirected to the associated Creator Channel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Places represent the physical locations where events happen.
