Hello,

I can’t get my jobs listings indexed by Google. Here is an example :
https://www.greenunivers.com/poste/elatos-montpellier-34-3948-directeur-general-h-f/

On this page, I get the following structured data issues :
addressLocality
The addressLocality field is recommended. Please provide a value if available.
warningaddressRegion
The addressRegion field is recommended. Please provide a value if available.
warningpostalCode
The postalCode field is recommended. Please provide a value if available.
warningstreetAddress
The streetAddress field is recommended. Please provide a value if available.
warningbaseSalary
The baseSalary field is recommended. Please provide a value if available.
You can check directly : https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/u/0/?hl=en#url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.greenunivers.com%2Fposte%2Felatos-montpellier-34-3948-directeur-general-h-f%2F

On the exact same job posting, a competitor get nicer structured datas on job remuneration but mostly nicer jobLocation datas :
https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/u/0/?hl=fr#url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.jobijoba.com%2Ffr%2Fannonce%2F54%2F2692e3ec413ecea6332ffcd686872b8d%3Futm_campaign%3Dgoogle_jobs_apply%26utm_source%3Dgoogle_jobs_apply%26utm_medium%3Dorganic

My question is : what could I do to be indexed by Google Jobs ? Or get more appropriate/accurate/complete jobLocation structured datas ?

Thank you.

@jfoulquier Warnings like that are fine and won’t stop google from crawling your site. If another site has the same job with more / better information than you it is probably because they have a system to improve the data to increase their ranking in google. Hope that helps, but from what I can see so long as you are sending your links to google correctly, you will be showing up.

Hi @jfoulquier !

Or get more appropriate/accurate/complete jobLocation structured datas ?

In a sense, it’s actually easy: have the employer include a full address when submitting the job listing, and not just the city name (in this case, it looks like they only submitted “Montpellier, France) on https://www.greenunivers.com/poste/elatos-montpellier-34-3948-directeur-general-h-f/ ). Getting them to include the full address is up to you, though. 🙂

As Dylan said, those are warnings, not errors, so it won’t prevent you from being listed by Google; Google just prefers more complete information if at all possible.

Beyond seconding what others said about the warnings not preventing Google from indexing the jobs, the Google Indexing API for WP Job Manager add-on has worked perfectly to get our jobs indexed immediately (the job post location just had to include “city, state” (this is in the USA)–just having city didn’t work, and presumably having the full address would be even better, as @richardmtl wrote).

Also, you can test if it’s working by searching on the Job Search for Google page for your website URL (e.g. “yourwebsite.com”).
