Why online visibility matters for bookings
Most bookings now start with a Google search. A promoter types in a name, a sound or a brand they want and works through the first page of results. If Sophie’s roster page, socials and recent mixes show up there, the booking conversation starts. If they don’t, it goes to someone else.
What that looks like for Sophie
- Search coverage: showing up for searches around Glitterbox, Defected, “Calling Out” and Classic Music Company.
- A clear booking path: a live Onit Bookings page, a working email, recent set links and a current bio.
- Proof of activity: recent gigs, recent mixes and 2026 dates, so promoters can see she’s active.
