Frequently asked questions
What does Google require for job postings?
The job title, the full description, the date posted, the hiring company and the location (or, for remote jobs, the countries applicants may live in). The closing date, employment type and salary are recommended.
How do I mark up a remote job?
Tick This is a remote job and fill in the country applicants must live in. If the job is remote but tied to an office, fill in the office address as well.
What should I do when the job is filled?
Remove the markup or the whole page, or set Applications close to a past date. Google may take action against sites that keep expired jobs marked up.
Where do I put the code?
Paste the whole <script type="application/ld+json"> block into the HTML of the page it describes, ideally in the <head>; the <body> works too. In WordPress, use your SEO plugin's custom schema box or a plugin that adds code to the head of one page. Then check the page with Google's Rich Results Test.
Does structured data guarantee rich results?
No. Correct structured data makes a page eligible, but Google decides whether to show a rich result. The information in the code must also be visible on the page itself: don't mark up questions, prices or reviews that visitors can't see.
Is what I type uploaded or stored?
No. The code is made in your browser and nothing you type leaves your device. When you copy or download the code, our server only records that one use happened, so the daily limit can be applied. Copying the same code again is free.
