Last June Google introduce job search experience. Due to this millions of job seekers getting relevant job opportunity from third party provider across the web. It’s really a tough job to quickly index all job because jobs are publishing so frequently. To remove an expired job also necessary because it has no benefit for user while we are not accepting any application against that job.




What is Indexing API?

Indexing API will help for webmaster to notify Google when job posting pages are added and deleted. This allow to Google to schedule a job posting for a fresh crawl, which will directly impact your traffic and application conversion. This API will help very in Recruitment industry so owner of recruitment industry will take it on priority.

For now Indexing API will use those URL only for which Job Posting Structure schema has implemented. So as per my understanding we should implemented job posting schema for whole of the website if your business related to Jobs.




How Indexing API work?

There are some basic step which should be follow to used Indexing API. Currently this API allow limited number of URL to submit with Google for crawling.

  • Ø  Complete the Prerequisites – Before using this API you should complete some of the things which still has not done.
