How can I create a job ad?
To create a job ad you need a SEO for Jobs Account.
After logging in, you will directly see the mask for creating a job ad. Fill in the information about your job ad as completely as possible. Do not forget to save.
To publish the job ad, click the "Publish" button. Published job ads are marked green in the list. Job ads in draft are marked in gray.
Tip: You can create as many job ads as you want in your account. The limitation refers only to published jobs. This way you can already prepare future jobs and publish them when needed.
Where will my job ads be published?
Your job ads will be published on Google for Jobs. To open Google for Jobs:
Visit Google
For example, search "jobs nearby" or "project manager Hamburg".
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?
Before your job ads are published on Google for Jobs, they have to be indexed by Google. Since SEO for Jobs is specially adapted to Google for Jobs, the publication usually takes place within a few minutes to a few hours.
Why can't I find my job ad?
In the editor you have the possibility to formulate job offers and publish them at a later time. If you can't find your job, check if you have published the job ad.
How is the "Apply to button" labeled?
Every job ad on Google for Jobs will have an "Apply to Button" (is often referred to as 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?
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?
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?
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
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".
What are the possibilities for analysis and evaluation?

How do I remove my ads from Google?

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.

After cancellation and expiration, your active jobs will be deactivated and deleted from Google for Jobs. However, your account will remain active.
You can now simply pause your plan, instead of cancelling it.
Pause plan
If you don't have any more jobs available at the moment, you can also simply pause your plan instead of cancelling it directly.
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.
