Updated Google Structured Data Guidelines for Jobs: Changes and Innovations

Google has updated its guidelines for structured data for jobs, changing the requirements for Google to report new web pages and changes to existing pages. These changes are intended to better help publishers keep their jobs relevant in Google search results.

"Google's job posting structured data guidance is designed to help publishers become eligible for enhanced visibility in Google Search results through interactive job listings in search."

🚀 New guidelines state that publishers should now use both the Indexing API and Sitemap to notify Google of new jobs and changes to existing pages. Previously, Google recommended using the Indexing API "instead of" Sitemap, but this recommendation has now been changed to use both tools together.
