Get your job board found on Google

Your live jobs go to Google for Jobs on their own. Set search titles and descriptions, indexing and tracking scripts per board.

Who can do this: Owners and Admins.

Product: Job Board

Where: Settings → Jobs → Job boards, your board, Search engine visibility

Your live jobs are published for Google for Jobs and listed in a sitemap, so search engines pick up new jobs soon after they go live. There's nothing to set up for that. These settings control how your board looks in search results and whether it's indexed.

Set how your board looks in search results

  1. Go to Settings → Jobs → Job boards and open your board.

  2. Under Search engine visibility, enter a title and description for the board page and for each job page. Click a tag like {job_title} to fill in job details automatically.

  3. Click Save changes.

Leave a field empty to use the default shown under it. The Google preview on the right updates as you type.

By default, the board page is titled "Jobs at" plus your agency name (or your banner title), and each job page shows the job title and your agency name.

Choose whether search engines index the board

Under Search engine indexing, pick one of three options.

The Search engine indexing options

Visible to search engines is selected by default.

Visible to search engines

The default. Search engines can list your board and jobs.

Hidden from search engines

Keeps the board out of search results. Pages already in results drop out over time.

Custom directive

For your web team, if they need a specific instruction for search engines.

Add tracking scripts

On your own web address, you can add Tracking scripts from your analytics or job distribution provider in the board settings.

The Tracking scripts field

Scripts you paste here run on the board's public pages, not in the candidate portal.

Important: Only paste code from providers you trust.

Help candidates find the board

Good to know

  • Only live jobs are published for Google for Jobs.

  • If you change a board's slug, the old address keeps working and forwards to the new one.

  • Tracking scripts are for boards on your own web address.

Pro tip: Use tags like {job_title} in the job page title. Every job then gets its own search title without anyone writing one per job.
