# Google Job Indexing

## What is Google Job Indexing?

Google Job Indexing is a feature that allows job listings from a website to be directly added to Google Jobs, a dedicated section in Google search results that shows job openings. It utilizes structured data to ensure that jobs appear quickly and accurately in search results.

## Why is it important?

This allows your job board to ensure prompt indexing of job postings on Google for Jobs.

* It **increases visibility**: Jobs posted on your website can reach a wider audience through Google Jobs.
* It **ensures faster updates**: New, updated, or removed job posts are quickly reflected in search results.

**If you don’t use the Google Job Indexing:**

* Google can still discover the structured data: Googlebot crawls your site and will understand that the page contains job-related content.
* The structured data **MAY** help Google rank your page better in regular search by giving it context.

**But what won't happen is:**

* The jobs may **NOT** appear in Google for Jobs search results.
* Without Google Jobs indexing, your jobs won’t show in the dedicated job search experience(i.e., job cards with filters and company logos)

## How to use Google Job Indexing?

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.arthajobboard.com/admin/manage-portal/app-center/google-job-indexing.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
