  2. Configure Search Engine Optimization

Configure Search Engine Optimization

You can increase your career site's visibility on the Internet by configuring search engine optimization (SEO) fields at both the global and page-level. This helps search engines to tie your career site and specified pages to your organization.

If you don't set anything specific at the page level, then a page uses the global level settings. In addition to these settings, you can enter domain verification to help the Google search engine to understand that your organization owns a career site.

Global Level SEO

On the General tab for a career site, enter the appropriate information for organization name, organization URL, and organization logo. The Organization Name, Organization URL, and Organization Logo fields are used to help search engines tie the career site page to your organization. Web designers typically enter this information in the header tag of a web page. Since job search and custom pages don't have headers, and they could have a different IP address and domain than that of your parent organization you'll want to enter the Organization URL and Organization Logo in the SEO Optimization fields. The logo is used to help search engines to identify your job search and custom pages as belonging to your organization.

Note: You can add vanity URLs in the URL field.

Page Level SEO

On the Pages tab for a career site, enter an SEO description, and SEO keywords. The SEO settings you make at the page level override the global settings. If you don't set anything specific at the page level, the page uses the global level settings.

Domain Verification

Use a domain verification code, which you can obtain from Google, to help the Google search engine to recognize that your organization owns a career site.
