Disallow: /jobs/? is this stopping the SERPs from indexing job posts
Hi James, So far as I can see you have the following architecture: job posting: https://www.pkeducation.co.uk/job/post-name/ jobs listing page: https://www.pkeducation.co.uk/jobs/ Since from the robots.txt the listing page pagination is blocked, the crawler can access only the first 15 job postings are available to crawl via a normal crawl. I would say, you should remove the blocking from the robots.txt and focus on implementing a correct pagination. *which method you choose is your decision, but allow the crawler to access all of your job posts. Check https://yoast.com/pagination-seo-best-practices/ Another thing I would change is to make the job post title an anchor text for the job posting. (every single job is linked with "Find out more"). Also if possible, create a separate sitemap.xml for your job posts and submit it in Search Console, this way you can keep track of any anomaly with indexation. Last, and not least, focus on the quality of your content (just as Matt proposed in the first answer). Good luck!

Crawl errors - 2,513 not found. Response code 404
Istvan has given some great advice here - one other thing I would add about the gibberish URLs though: especially with the format of these, it's possible that the site may have been the victim of a hack. Make sure you get the site scanned for malware or other hacking activity and going forward have a security expert ensure that the site is secure (especially if it's using a platform like Wordpress which is vulnerable to hackers).
