Technical SEO for Job Boards

Technical SEO means 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 requirements automatically.

What Cavuno does automatically

JobPosting schema markup

Every job listing includes structured data that tells Google exactly what the job is: the title and description, company name and logo, location or remote status, salary information (when provided), employment type, and date posted with expiration. This structured data is required to appear in Google for Jobs and helps your listings stand out in regular search results with rich snippets.

XML sitemap generation

Cavuno automatically generates and maintains your sitemap at yourboard.com/sitemap.xml. It includes all job listings, company pages, category and location pages, and blog posts. The sitemap updates automatically as content changes. See Sitemap submission for details on what's included and how to submit it.

Mobile optimization

With 60% of job searches happening on mobile, Cavuno ensures responsive design on all pages, a touch-friendly interface, fast mobile load times, and mobile-first indexing readiness.

Page speed optimization

Fast pages rank better and convert more visitors. Cavuno provides optimized images, efficient code delivery, CDN distribution, and Core Web Vitals optimization.

Canonical URL handling

Duplicate content confuses search engines. Cavuno handles canonical tags on all pages, parameter handling for sorting and filtering, consistent URL structures, and redirect management.

HTTPS security

All Cavuno boards use HTTPS with SSL certificates included. HTTPS is required for Google ranking and ensures secure data transmission between your board and its visitors.

What you can customize

SEO settings per page type

Use the Website Builder's SEO settings to configure meta titles, meta descriptions, and hero content for every page type on your board. The builder covers 55 page types organized into 11 groups: Home, Auth, Jobs, Companies, Salaries, Talent, Blog, Alerts, Account, Employer, and Pages. Each one ships with a sensible default, so you only need to customize the ones that should differ.

SEO tokens

Programmatic, list, and salary detail pages support dynamic tokens resolved at render time. Common tokens include {{board_name}}, {{count}}, {{category}}, {{location}}, {{skill}}, {{job_label}}, {{company_label}}, {{tag_name}}, and {{tag_description}}. Salary detail pages add a richer set including {{salary_range}}, {{board_range}}, {{diff_percent}}, and seniority/company/title ranking tokens.

The supported tokens vary by page, so the right SEO panel only shows the tokens you can actually use on the selected page. For the full per-page reference, see Page SEO settings.

Example title template: {{count}} {{category}} {{job_label}} in {{location}} | {{board_name}} renders as "47 Marketing Jobs in New York | TechJobs Board".

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), and schema validation (structured data issues). See Connect Search Console for setup instructions.

Common issues to watch

Even with automation, keep an eye on crawl errors (usually from external broken links), index coverage drops (which may indicate content quality issues), and schema warnings (occasionally from unusual job data). Use the schema validator to diagnose specific issues.
