Ad code shows on Google Jobs Listing

Hi Zark,

Thanks for reaching out.

This looks like the shortcode form a manual placed ad.

I suggest placing your ads using the content placements instead.

You can also flag this job listing at googles jobs overview page using the “feedback” button and ask for a correction.

I will also have a closer look into this and try to reproduce the issue.

Best regards,

the content placements doesn’t work on specified job pages that’s why I am using shortcodes to achieve all that.

Hi Zark,

Thanks for the reply.

Can you please provide a link to your page and also the Google listing?

This would be really helpful figuring out why the shortcode was not rendered or ignored while Google indexed this listing.

Best regards,
Henning

Hi Zark,

Thanks for the links.

Are you using a third-party plugin to export the jobs to Google Jobs listing?

If I am correct, you would need to find a way to filter your exports for shortcodes. If the plugin is using RSS or the RestAPI you can already deactivate the ad injection in there navigating to Advanced Ads > Settings > General.

If you know which Google bot is scraping these listings, you can also add this one to the exclusion list using this filter.

Hi Zark,

I haven’t heard back from you.

Have you been able to resolve your issue or is there still anything I could help you with?

I am also interested in your short feedback if all is fine so that I can close this thread.

Best regards,
Henning

No, I haven’t. Nothing worked.

Hi Zark,

I hope all is well.

Can you please let me know how these listings are coming to the Google Job search? Is Google scraping these entries, or do you use another tool to export the content?

Best regards,
Henning
