You will then see a blue box with the label "Jobs".
Clicking on the blue box will open a new view. This is Google 4 Jobs
How long does it take to publish my job ads? [ef5f182e]
Before your job ads are published on Google for Jobs, they have to be indexed by Google. Since SEO for Jobs is specially designed for Google for Jobs, the publication usually takes place within a few minutes to a few hours.
How often does my job ad update? [d5722346]
During the time you have booked a current plan with SEO for Jobs and have placed one or more job ads, the date of publication of your job ad will be updated automatically every 14 days, so that it is always up-to-date and visible to your applicants.
Why can't I find my job ad? [c4611235]
In the editor you have the possibility to formulate job offers and publish them at a later date. If you can't find your job, check if you have published the job ad.
How is the "Apply to button" labeled? [0c131488]
Every job ad on Google for Jobs will have an "Apply to Button" (often called the Google Jobs Apply Button). This will be labeled with the company name stored in your account. When placing your first job ad, it may take some time for the button label to display correctly. Usually, the correct label is displayed after 24 hours.
Why is my logo not displayed? [01c50dab]
You have the possibility to set a logo for each job ad. First check whether the logo is stored in the editor. If a colored square with the first letter of your company is still displayed in Google for Jobs, Google has not yet indexed your logo and assigned it to your account. In exceptional cases, it can take up to two weeks until the logo is correctly linked. However, this is a one-time process. Once the link is established, you can use the logo directly in the next job ad in the future.
Tip: The logo on Google for Jobs is sometimes only displayed very small (40px x 40px). Therefore, make sure that the logo is also easily recognizable in small size. Even if the logo is only displayed small on Google Jobs, you should still upload a size of 600px x 600px.
Can I post jobs for different companies? [d04f1768]
If you are a staffing company or your company consists of different companies, you can post job ads for different companies via one account. The only restriction here is the label of the "Apply to button". This is linked to the account. If you want the button to be labeled individually as well, you would have to open a separate account for each company.
Can I store multiple locations for a job ad? [221b18bf]
Google for Jobs does not allow you to enter multiple locations for a job ad. If you have to fill the same position at multiple locations, you would have to create the position multiple times and store the respective location. To do this, you can simply duplicate an existing job using the copy function.
How to copy a job ad [37240f5a]
Often, job ads differ only minimally. You can simply duplicate each job ad and then modify it. To do this, follow these steps:
Select a job ad in your account
Click on "..." in the upper right corner.
Select "Copy job ad".
How can I additionally place advertisements?
In order to use SEO for Jobs to additionally place your job ads as advertising (also called Ad Boost) in Google Search, you must have a running plan and at least one published job ad.
Log in to your SEO for Jobs account login. On the welcome page, you will then see a window titled "Advertise". Click on "Place Advertisement", a dialog will immediately appear with the most important information that should be preserved in the advertisement.
Why can't I see my advertisement? [8541268c]
Google decides where to display the advertisement based on the location of the job. If a specific address or city is specified, the radius is limited to the immediate vicinity. If no specific location is specified or if only Germany is specified, the advertisement will be seen nationwide in the Google search for the corresponding search terms.
If your device is not in the specified location, the advertising will not be shown to you, even if you enter the work location in the search.
What are the options for analysis and evaluation? [7430157b]
After you have published the first job ads via SEO for Jobs, the integrated dashboard also activates automatically. It may take some time until data is provided here. As soon as sufficient data is available, you can see in the dashboard the number of views of your job ads, the average ranking of your job ads as well as the keywords through which your job ads were found.
You can access the dashboard via:
In the top right menu on "Company

How can I see how many applicants I receive through Google for Jobs? [312c2581]
SEO for Jobs tracking does not record the number of applications you receive, only how many views your job ad has on Google for Jobs. Which of the potential applicants actually apply is outside the tracking range of SEO for Jobs. The applications are only in your system, because in most cases this is handled by a contact form or an applicant management system.
However, you can find out for yourself if applicants are applying through your ads on Google. To do this, you can look at the UTM parameters:
Utm_campaign: google_jobs_apply
Utm_source: google_jobs_apply
Utm_medium: organic
How do I get my ads removed from Google? [201b1479]
Your advertised job has been filled? Congratulations!
You can deactivate filled positions yourself in your account. If you use the managed service, our system checks at regular intervals whether the job offer can still be found on your website. If it no longer appears there, your job will be automatically deleted from Google.
Generally, it can take a few days until the job ad is completely removed from Google for Jobs.
How can I cancel? [67c30900]
If you are not satisfied with our service, you can cancel your subscription directly in your account.
To do this, log in to your account. Then select "Company" from the menu on the top right, then select "Package & Payment" on the left and then select the "Cancel" button below your plan.
After you cancel, your subscription will remain active until the end of the term. If you decide otherwise, you have the option to reactivate the plan.
After cancellation and expiration of the term, your active jobs will be deactivated and deleted from Google for Jobs. However, your account will remain active.
You can now, instead of cancelling your plan, simply pause it.
Pause Package [2d8005e2]
If you don't have any more jobs available at this time, you can also simply pause your plan instead of canceling it outright.
How this works varies depending on the term of your chosen plan. If you have booked a plan with a monthly term, you can pause for up to 12 months. You can select how many months you want to pause at once in your account under "Pause plan". Once the selected period has expired, your plan will automatically be reactivated.
If you have chosen a plan with an annual term, you can pause for up to 3 months. When the pause months are up, the plan will continue to run automatically here as well.
You can cancel your pause at any time if necessary and continue using your account. The remaining days of the break will then be credited to you. It is worth mentioning that for any further break, you can still only select whole months and not individual days. If you cancel the break, a new billing cycle will start from that point and you will be sent a new invoice.
