Google Jobs Tracking

Tracking for Google Jobs results in Rank Ranger is provided via a Google Jobs search engine. Easy setup instructions are contained in this document, along with a sampling of reports that can be customized for analysis and client reporting of Google Jobs rank for the domain being tracked and its competitors. Rank is tracked for the top 100 Google Jobs search results (i.e., we provide up to 100 results, if Google serves 70 results for a keyword, then the report contains rank data for those 70 results).

After accumulating weekly and monthly rank data, Google for Jobs search results data can be used with additional rank reports, competitor research tools, Insight Graphs & Widgets, and Enterprise reports.

Google Jobs tracking is a premium service available as an add-on to Enterprise Rank Tracking packages or via the Google Jobs Rank API.

What is Google for Jobs?

Google Jobs Box

In some markets, when searching for a job title or jobs in a specific location, Google serves a Jobs box in the search results.

Google Jobs Search Results

Clicking any of the links in the Google Jobs Box launches Google Jobs Search which provides tens to hundreds of results in the left, and the full job listing in the right pane. Job listing features include the hiring company, a link to the job on the site of the company that published the job listing (e.g, recruiting agency or employer), job details, ratings/reviews, related search, and share options, as well as an opportunity to receive email alerts for the search.
