Google Things to Do for Cooking Classes
Cooking class providers offering authentic local cuisine experiences see high Google Things to Do traveler intent — direct booking protects margins on small-group experiences.
The pain point
Small-group cooking class commissions via OTAs can exceed $30 per booker.
Recommended schema: Event
For cooking class providers, Google rewards Event structured data on every bookable product page. Combined with a verified booking link in your Google Business Profile, this is what unlocks the Official Site badge inside the Things to Do panel.
