The SEO Search Sitemap feature provides a structured sitemap interface. The main purpose of the feature is to help improve internal linking structure, making it easier and more efficient for search engines (Google, Bing etc.) to discover and index your most important search pages. Additionally, for users this offers an alternative way to browse and discover jobs.
A modular configuration page enables admins to easily select and prepare the terms and term combinations which should be featured in the search sitemap. Below you will find a step by step guide on how to configure the search sitemap:
Step 1
Navigate to the configuration page under this path: /admin/recruiter/search-sitemap/job_search or via the “Recruiter Search Sitemap” link in the menu.
Step 2
Add the base path. This is the URL under which the search sitemap will be found. In this example the path would be www.jobboardname.com/browse-jobs.
Step 3
Define the page title (h1) of the main page of the search sitemap.
Step 4
Add the sitemap blocks to the main page of the search sitemap by clicking “+Add sitemap block”
Select the block type from the drop down list.
Define a title for the block.
Define the minimum results count. This sets the threshold for how many jobs need to be available for a term before the term is displayed within the block.
Define the maximum links count. Defines the maximum number of links to be shown for the sitemap block. The hard limit is 50, if a higher limit is required, please contact your Customer Success Manager.
Once done, click “Add”.
Add further sitemap blocks as necessary. The terms in the list can be re-organized by dragging them up or down.
Step 5
For the added sitemap blocks, additional blocks can be added to their sub-pages. This creates valuable combination links of the main sitemap block and the selected sub-page term blocks. In order to select which terms should go on the sub-page, click the sub-page link.
First define the Page Title (h1). In the page title you can use the “@value” token to add the name of the selected main term.
To add a sub-page term block, click on “+Add sub-page block”. Select the term from the list and add the Title, here you can again use the “@value” token.
Add further sub-page sitemap blocks as necessary. The terms in the list can be re-organized by dragging the terms up or down.
