Please connect with us at to integrate your job board with Google Index API. We can set up your account to go live with this Google Index integration.
Set up Google Indexing for your Jobfront job board
The Google for Jobs Indexing API helps job boards quickly update their job listings on Google for Jobs. This API allows job boards to immediately inform Google about new job postings or changes to existing ones.
Implementing this API doesn't guarantee that all job postings will appear on Google for Jobs but, it does increase the speed at which Google's crawlers can find and index these postings.
Job boards that regularly and promptly submit their listings to Google are often recognized by Google as the original source of these postings. Faster submission can significantly boost your chances of appearing higher in Google's rankings
