Looking for Job Board Plugin Recommendations for WordPress (and Google Listings)
Good morning, everyone!
I’m an agency owner with a WordPress site, and I’m on the hunt for a new job board plugin that is user-friendly and compatible with Google Jobs.
Currently, I’m using “PressTigers” and have invested in the Indexing API for Google, which should theoretically allow my listings to appear on Google. However, I’ve been facing challenges lately. Although some jobs have appeared in the past, they’re not showing up now. I’ve followed all of Google’s guidelines, but unfortunately, I still can’t seem to get the listings to work properly.
Has anyone else encountered difficulties with getting job postings from their websites to show up on Google? I’d love to hear your experiences and any recommendations you might have!
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,
Good morning! I understand your frustration with getting job listings to appear on Google. Here are a few job board plugins for WordPress that are known to work well and might help resolve your issues:

WP Job Board: It’s a premium plugin with extensive features, including job submission, listings management, and application tracking. It also focuses on schema implementation necessary for Google Jobs.
Regarding the indexing issues, here are a few troubleshooting tips:
Schema Markup: Make sure your job postings are using the correct schema markup required by Google. A tool like Google’s Structured Data Testing Tool can help you verify this.
Indexing API: If you’re using the Indexing API, ensure that you’re submitting the job posts correctly, and check the API response for any errors.
Rich Results Test: Use Google’s Rich Results Test to see if your job postings are eligible for rich results and if there are any issues that need to be fixed.
Job Posting Guidelines: Double-check Google’s job posting guidelines to ensure you’re meeting all the criteria.
Many users have faced similar issues with Google Jobs, so you’re not alone. Sometimes, small tweaks to the setup or markup can make a huge difference.
I hope you find this information helpful, and wish you the best with your new job board setup!
