Google Structured Data for Indexing

Jobseekers searching for jobs on Google are able to find jobs in their Google search results. This feature adds markers in the page layout of the Career Section Job Description page which allows Google to index jobs. A block of code is included in the Job Description page which Google Search tools can index according to its formatting rules. This enables jobs posted on Career Sections to be indexed and searchable on Google Search.

Administrators enable this feature through mapping SmartOrg location levels to Google’s levels. The levels in the settings reflect the language and levels used in Google’s level concepts. When the feature is enabled, through location mapping, the system will automatically include those fields which are mapped in the code block.

The five settings represent location level concepts in Google’s data model and reside in the Career Section settings:

  • Google Structured Data Location Mapping Country – Optional for indexing

    The location level configured will use the value from the requisition's location for indexing into Google's location structure of "Country". This setting is optional for the Google indexing feature.

  • Google Structured Data Location Mapping Locality – Mandatory for indexing

    The location level configured will use the value from the requisition's location for indexing into Google's location structure of "Locality", which is the concept of City. When this setting is configured to "Not Specified", the Google indexing feature will be disabled.

  • Google Structured Data Location Mapping Postal Code – Optional for indexing

    The location level configured will use the value from the requisition's location for indexing into Google's location structure of "Postal Code". This setting is optional for the Google indexing feature.

  • Google Structured Data Location Mapping Region – Mandatory for indexing

    The location level configured will use the value from the requisition's location for indexing into Google's location structure of "Region", which is the concept of State/Province. When this setting is configured to "Not Specified", the Google indexing feature will be disabled.

  • Google Structured Data Location Mapping Street Address – Optional for indexing

    The location level configured will use the value from the requisition's location for indexing into Google's location structure of "Street Address". This setting is optional for the Google indexing feature.

    Fields which are optional in the Google Structured Data format are only included in the code block if they are:

  • Configured to be displayed on the Job Description page layout for that Career Section.

  • For locations, when the settings are mapped to SmartOrg locations.

Note:

  • This feature only applies to external career sections.

  • For locations, we only show the locations that are mapped in the five SmartOrg location settings.
