Google structured data – missing items
-
On our JobBoardWP Plugin’s settings: Disable Google Structured data (check mark option is not enabled) – meaning it’s active.
We tested if our job pages are being indexed by Google based on Google structured data.
Out of the 1000+ job postings we have only 69 passed the Rich results “These items are eligible for Google Search’s rich results”
So we did further analysis and tested some of the 69 jobs that passed the Rich text some of the sample jobs that did not pass using Googles own tool https://search.google.com/test/rich-results all had “1 valid item detected”
Showing Google is only indexed 69 jobs not all, and for some reason 69 passed the Rich text results.
In summary:
69 passed -> result “1 valid item detected”
1000+ other jobs seemed to have been ignored in the Rich results dashboard

Additionally for those that passed only “1 valid item detected” couldn’t see which was the Valid item exactly.
— Overall Results —

For an overview from our side, here is a snippet of the results from one of the job page link we tested with
application.<\/span>”,”employmentType”:”Full-time”,”hiringOrganization”:{“@type”:”Organization”,”name”:”Audible”,”sameAs”:”https:\/\/www.audiblecareers.com\/”,”url”:”https:\/\/www.audiblecareers.com\/”,”logo”:”https:\/\/jobsitewebsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Audible-Logo-jobs-150×150.png”},”identifier”:{“@type”:”PropertyValue”,”name”:”Audible”,”value”:”https:\/\/jobsitewebsite.com\/?post_type=jb-job&p=10232″},”jobLocation“:{“@type”:”Place”,”address”:”London”}}
A suggestion, can we have the following fields as separate input fields instead of one field called “Job Location”: Country, State, Address and Postcode? or is that solved by the commas? in this format {“@type”:”Place”,”address”:”London”}}
That seems to be be the reason for this result “1 valid item detected” 7 non-critical issues* (representing the missing fields)
Even though they are marked optional, they seem important for Googles recommended: Job Posting Structured data. and for proper job indexing and SEO purposes.
