SEO Guide for Job Boards

Job boards face unique SEO challenges that general websites don't:
- Dynamic content: Job listings expire, creating constant URL churn
- Dual audience: You need to attract both job seekers and employers
- Massive scale: Successful boards have thousands of optimized pages
- Competition: You're competing with Indeed, LinkedIn, and niche boards
