Technical SEO for Job Boards

What is technical SEO?

Technical SEO is the practice of optimizing your website's infrastructure so search engines can crawl, index, and rank your pages effectively. It covers site speed, mobile-friendliness, structured data, sitemaps, and security. Cavuno handles these technical requirements automatically so you can focus on content and growth.

What Cavuno does automatically

JobPosting schema markup

Every job listing includes structured data that tells Google exactly what the job is:

• Job title and description
• Company name and logo
• Location (or remote status)
• Salary information (when provided)
• Employment type
• Date posted and expiration

This structured data is required to appear in Google for Jobs and helps your listings stand out in regular search results.

XML sitemap generation

Cavuno automatically generates and maintains your sitemap:

• All job listings included
• Company pages included
• Category and location pages included
• Blog posts included
• Updated automatically as content changes

Your sitemap is available at yourboard.com/sitemap.xml.

Mobile optimization

With 60% of job searches on mobile, Cavuno ensures:

• Responsive design on all pages
• Touch-friendly interface
• Fast mobile load times
• Mobile-first indexing ready

Page speed optimization

Fast pages rank better and convert more visitors:

• Optimized images
• Efficient code delivery
• CDN distribution
• Core Web Vitals optimized

Canonical URL handling

Duplicate content confuses search engines. Cavuno handles:

• Canonical tags on all pages
• Parameter handling (sorting, filtering)
• Consistent URL structures
• Redirect management

HTTPS security

All Cavuno boards use HTTPS:

• SSL certificates included
• Secure data transmission
• Required for Google ranking

What you can customize

While technical SEO is automatic, you control the content:

SEO settings per page type

In Board settings > SEO tab, customize:

• Homepage: H1, description, SEO title, meta description
• Jobs page: Template for your jobs listing
• Companies page: Template for company listings
• Individual job posts: How each job appears in search
• Category pages: Location and category templates

For more granular control with a visual interface, use the Website Builder's SEO settings to configure meta tags for each page type.

SEO tokens

Use dynamic tokens in your SEO templates:

• {{board_name}} - Your board's name
• {{count}} - Number of items
• {{category}} - Job category
• {{location}} - Job location
• {{job_label}} - Singular/plural job label
• {{company_label}} - Singular/plural company label

Example: "{{count}} {{job_label}} in {{location}} | {{board_name}}"

Monitoring your technical SEO

Google Search Console

Connect Search Console to monitor:

• Index coverage (how many pages Google knows about)
• Crawl errors (problems accessing your pages)
• Core Web Vitals (page experience metrics)
• Schema validation (structured data issues)

See Connect Search Console for setup instructions.

Common issues to watch

Even with automation, monitor for:

• Crawl errors: Usually from external broken links
• Index coverage drops: May indicate content quality issues
• Schema warnings: Occasionally from unusual job data
