Job Board Landing Pages for SEO

How category and location pages drive organic traffic to your job board.

Landing pages are your secret weapon for job board SEO. While your homepage might rank for your brand, landing pages capture the long-tail searches that drive real traffic.

Why landing pages matter

Consider how job seekers actually search:

  • "remote marketing jobs" (category)
  • "software engineer jobs in Austin" (category + location)
  • "entry level design jobs San Francisco" (level + category + location)

Each of these searches needs a dedicated, optimized page. LinkedIn Jobs has over 1 million such pages, and 83% of their organic traffic goes to these landing pages, not their homepage.

Types of landing pages

Keyword pages

Pages for job types, industries, or categories:

  • /jobs/marketing
  • /jobs/engineering
  • /jobs/healthcare

Location pages

Pages for geographic areas:

  • /jobs/locations/new-york
  • /jobs/locations/remote
  • /jobs/locations/san-francisco

Skill pages

Pages for specific skills:

  • /jobs/skills/react
  • /jobs/skills/python
  • /jobs/skills/project-management

Combination pages

The most valuable pages combine location and keyword/skill:

  • /jobs/locations/new-york/marketing
  • /jobs/locations/remote/engineering
  • /jobs/locations/chicago/healthcare
  • /jobs/locations/san-francisco/skills/react

These target specific, high-intent searches like "marketing jobs in New York".

How Cavuno generates landing pages

Cavuno automatically creates landing pages based on your job content:

  1. Category pages: Generated from job categories in your listings
  2. Location pages: Generated from job locations
  3. Combination pages: Created when you have jobs matching both

As you add jobs, new landing pages appear automatically. Remove jobs, and empty pages are handled gracefully.

Optimizing your landing pages

SEO settings

In Board settings > SEO tab, customize templates for:

  • Category template: How category pages appear in search
  • Location template: How location pages appear in search
  • Combination template: How combined pages appear in search

Writing effective templates

Title template example:

{{count}} {{category}} Jobs in {{location}} | {{board_name}}

Renders as: "47 Marketing Jobs in New York | TechJobs Board"

Meta description example:

Browse {{count}} {{category}} jobs in {{location}}. Find your next opportunity on {{board_name}}.

Best practices

  1. Include the keyword naturally: "Marketing Jobs in Chicago" not "Jobs - Marketing - Chicago"
  2. Add value signals: Job count, "hiring now", company names
  3. Keep titles under 60 characters: Longer titles get truncated
  4. Meta descriptions under 160 characters: Be concise and compelling

Measuring landing page performance

In Google Search Console

Monitor your landing pages:

  1. Go to Performance > Pages
  2. Filter by URL pattern (e.g., /jobs/)
  3. See impressions, clicks, and average position

Key metrics to track

  • Impressions: How often your pages appear in search
  • Clicks: How many visitors come from search
  • CTR: Click-through rate (clicks / impressions)
  • Position: Average ranking position

Improving underperforming pages

If a landing page has high impressions but low clicks:

  1. Improve the title to be more compelling
  2. Add job count to show fresh content
  3. Include location for local searches
  4. Make the meta description action-oriented

The compounding effect

Landing pages create a flywheel:

  1. More jobs → More landing pages generated
  2. More pages → More keyword coverage
  3. More coverage → More organic traffic
  4. More traffic → More employer interest
  5. More employers → More jobs posted

This is why successful job boards invest heavily in content that generates jobs across many categories and locations.
