AIRVent

Why it matters

This is the third report to carry the Event Details page. Under Timings of the Event it still lists Tuesday 4th to Friday 7th February 2026 — last year’s show — and under How to get to Crocus Expo? it still gives the address as Pavilion 2. The header and footer give 1–4 February 2027 in Pavilion 3, but four more places still carry other days: the When and Where block on Why Visit lists 3–6 February, and three articles promoting the 2027 show give it as 3–6 February 2027.

A correction to our September report: we suggested simply deleting the old timings because a correct Opening Times block sat higher up the page. That block is actually the site footer, at the bottom of every page. The Event Details page has no correct timings of its own, so the block needs updating rather than deleting. The footer has the right 2027 times to copy from.

New this time: the line under the dates at the top of every page, and the Venue line in the footer, both spell it “Pavillion”. Two fields, and the spelling is right on every page.

Where to change it

Strapi → Pages → Event Details (Timings of the Event, How to get to Crocus Expo?) · Pages → Why Visit (When and Where) · Articles → the three listed below (body text) · Navigation bar → header text, second line · Footer → Venue

Why it matters

Every page has a title and a description that Google shows in its results — the blue line someone clicks, and the grey text under it. These two are the listings people see most.

The homepage description still invites people to “AIRVent Expo 2026”. It is saved in the homepage’s own SEO section in Strapi. Our September report said this sentence had gone from the site. It has gone from every other page, but not from the homepage, and we missed that.

About Us is the third report running. Its description was corrected in September, but its title still reads “Wholesale HVAC Parts & Supplies”, so anyone who finds your About Us page in Google is told it sells parts.

Where to change it

Strapi → Homepage → SEO → Meta Description · Strapi → Pages → About Us → SEO → Meta Title

Why it matters

Every page has a setting called Canonical URL. It tells Google “this page is a copy — index that other address instead.” Left empty, the site fills in the page’s own address, which is right almost every time.

On this article the field names /articles/benefits-of-participating-in-air-vent-2025/, and that address shows “page not found”. So a real article is telling Google that its real version does not exist. This is the second report to carry it.

The fix is to empty the field. Nothing needs typing in.

Where to change it

Strapi → Articles → “Benefits of Participating in AIRVent 2025” → SEO → Canonical URL — clear the field

Why it matters

Each of these is a heading and one sentence, with nothing underneath. All three are public and listed for Google.

The Matchmaking page introduces “Aquaflame Connect” — your co-located show’s name — on an AIRVent page. The Resource Center promises information on stand construction, requirements and freight “below”, and there is nothing below. The Conference Programme says it will soon be updated with the 2026 programme, but the 2026 show has already happened. The Conference Programme button on About Us leads straight to it.

Where to change it

Strapi → Pages → Matchmaking Service, Exhibitor Resource Center, Conference Programme

Why it matters

Every image can carry a short written description. A screen reader reads it aloud to a blind visitor, and Google uses it to understand the picture.

The Aquaflame logo at the top of every page and the LinkedIn and YouTube icons at the bottom are all links, and all three have that field empty. Someone using a screen reader hears three unnamed links on every page. Our browser check flagged it on all 36 page types it tested that carry the standard header and footer.

A correction to September: we called the first image the site logo. It is the Aquaflame logo next to “Co-Located with”.

Where to change it

Strapi → Media Library → open each image → Alternative text

Why it matters

Ten are the thank-you pages people see after sending a form. One is new since September: the Why Russia thank-you page. Landing on one from Google means reading a confirmation for a form you never sent.

Three are demo pages. Two have a staff member’s name in the address. The third has exactly the same title as your real Partners & Sponsors page, so Google has to choose between them.

Ticking noIndex takes a page out of Google and out of your sitemap. The thank-you pages keep working for anyone who sends a form.

Where to change it

Strapi → each page → SEO → tick noIndex (or unpublish the three demo pages)

Why it matters

Same list as September, with nothing fixed or added. The pages these links were meant to reach all exist; the links still use old addresses. Twenty-eight of them are sector links in 23 articles, and every one needs the same fix: take /exhibit off the front.

Every address on the left was requested by hand on 2 October and shows “page not found”; every address on the right loads.

Where to change it

Strapi → the article or page → the link in the body text or the button

Why it matters

This is the page people use to book where they stay. Six of the “Book your Stay” buttons go nowhere useful. A seventh card describes a different hotel.

We opened every one of these in a normal browser as well as with our tools, because some hotel sites block automated checks but work fine for people. Radisson and Hilton are like that: they work, and are not listed.

Where to change it

Strapi → Pages → Plan Your Travel → the Hotels section → each hotel card

Why it matters

The Indian Logistics Partner logo links to yhcargogroup.com on 13 pages, including the homepage. The address exists, but the site never responds — in our tools or in a normal browser. This was on the August report too. The link is stored once on the partner record, so one edit fixes all 13 pages.

Two 2023 articles link to the old business programme on airventmoscow.ru. That site still works, but the page has gone.

Where to change it

Strapi → the Y&H Cargo partner record (shown as “Indian Logistics Partner”) → link · Strapi → Articles → the two 2023 articles → the link in the body text

Why it matters

The description is the grey text under your link in Google. It is what makes someone click your result rather than the one below.

The 24 pages that had none in September still have none. The nine sector pages matter most because people search for them. Their copy sits in sections the site cannot summarise automatically, so they have to be written by hand.

There are also five main pages with no description of their own. The site writes one automatically from the opening of the page and cuts it off at 150 characters, so Google shows a sentence that stops in the middle, ending in “…”. Why Visit currently stops at “…for ventilation, air conditioning, and…”.

The wording below is a starting point. We kept to facts that are on your own pages. Please make it sound like you before publishing; aim for 120 to 155 characters.

Where to change it

Strapi → see the second column — it differs by page type

Why it matters

In August we asked which exhibition area was right. Since then the figures have drifted further apart. A visitor reading the homepage, a sector page and About Us now sees three sets of numbers for the same show. Some pages contradict themselves.

Most of these are probably the 2026 results, rounded or labelled differently. A year beside each figure, and one source for all of them, would end the confusion.

Why it matters

Carried from August, and confirmed again by this browser check. White button text on your brand blue measures 3.3 to 1. The accessibility standard asks for 4.5 to 1, so “Become an Exhibitor”, “Visit AIRVent” and the download buttons are hard to read in sunlight, on older screens or for anyone with weaker eyesight.

One more problem, and a correction to August: we said the blue was fine for large headings. That is true for white headings on blue. It is not true for the blue page titles on the pale blue band at the top of most pages, such as About Us and Visa Support. Those measure just under 3 to 1, which is below even the lower standard of 3 to 1 for large text.

Darkening the blue slightly, to around #0072a6, keeps the same colour and passes in both places: about 5.3 to 1 for white text on the darker blue, and about 4.6 to 1 for darker-blue titles on its pale band. Or you can keep the current blue and accept the shortfall.

Where to change it

Tell us whether the blue can be darkened, and we will change it

Why it matters

Carried from August, unchanged. Every page loads a pop-up and email-capture tool. It has never shown anything, because airventexpo.com is not registered on the account the tool belongs to. Every page asks it for a pop-up, and every time it says no.

Visitors see nothing broken. The cost is a little speed on every page, an error in the background, and no pop-ups.
