Job Board SEO

[SO_UK]

Hello community,

Should I be using canonical tags on every job posted on my job board and also every job category page?

I currently use no canonicals on my job board but I still rank well organically.

Well, I'm pretty sure that adding the canonical tags to your website will not hurt your SEO probably it will help you. Your category pages are more important than your single job board pages, they are higher in your site structure so they need to have more relevance to your SEO strategy.

Hello SO_UK,

That is a tough question to answer without more details. Is there more than one URL for each job posting, or category page? If not, you can probably do without the canonical tags. If you want me to have a quick look, feel free to send me the link in a private message. Otherwise, I can only give the general advice that any time you have multiple URLs for the same page you should use a Rel="canonical" tag.
