Why can’t I find my job posting? [c4611235]
In the editor, you have the option to draft job postings and publish them at a later time. If you can’t find your job posting, check to see if you’ve actually published it.
What does the “Apply” button say? [0c131488]
Every job posting on Google for Jobs displays an “Apply” button (often called the Google Jobs Apply button). This button is labeled with the company name stored in your account. When you post your first job listing, it may take a little while for the button label to display correctly. The correct label usually appears after 24 hours.
Why isn’t my logo showing up? [01c50dab]
You have the option to upload a logo for each job posting. First, check whether the logo has been uploaded in the editor. If Google for Jobs still displays a colored square with the first letter of your company’s name, it means Google has not yet indexed your logo and associated it with your account. In rare cases, it may take up to two weeks for the logo to be properly linked. However, this is a one-time process. Once the link is established, you can use the logo directly for your next job posting.
Tip: The logo on Google for Jobs is sometimes displayed very small (40px x 40px), so make sure the logo is easily recognizable even at a small size. Even if the logo is displayed only in a small size on Google for Jobs, you should still upload a file that is 600px x 600px in size.
Can I post job listings for different companies? [d04f1768]
If you’re a staffing agency or your company consists of multiple entities, you can post job listings for different companies using a single account. The only restriction here is the text on the “Apply” buttons. This is linked to the account. If you want the button text to be customized for each company, you’ll need to open a separate account for each one.
Can I specify multiple locations for a job posting? [221b18bf]
Google for Jobs does not allow you to specify multiple locations for a single job posting. If you have the same position available at multiple locations, you’ll need to create the posting multiple times and specify the respective location for each. To do this, you can simply duplicate an existing posting using the copy function.
How can I copy a job posting? [37240f5a]
Job postings often differ only slightly. You can easily duplicate any job posting and then edit it. To do this, follow these steps:
Select a job posting in your account
Click "..." in the top-right corner
Select “Copy Job Posting”
How can I place additional ads?
To use SEO for Jobs to also place your job postings as ads (also known as Ad Boost) in Google Search, you must have an active plan and at least one published job posting.
Log in to your SEO for Jobs account . On the welcome page, you’ll see a window titled “Advertising.” Click “Place an Ad,” and a dialog box will immediately appear with the key information that should be included in the ad.
Why can’t I see my ad? [8541268c]
Google uses the specifiedjob locationto determine where the ad will be displayed. If a specific address or city is provided, the radius is limited to the immediate vicinity. If no specific location is provided — or only “Germany” is specified — the ad will appear nationwide in Google Search for relevant search terms.
If your device is not at the specified location, the ad will not be displayed to you, even if you enter your work location in the search.

How can I find out how many applicants I’m getting through Google for Jobs? [312c2581]
SEO for Jobs tracking does not record the number of applications you receive, but only how many views your job posting has on Google for Jobs. Which of the potential applicants actually applies is beyond the scope of SEO for Jobs tracking. Applications are handled exclusively within your system, as this is typically managed via a contact form or an applicant tracking system.

Utm_campaign: google_jobs_apply
Utm_source: google_jobs_apply
Utm_medium: organic
