Each job listing emits Schema.org JobPosting so Google for Jobs picks it up. Employers submit through the frontend wizard. Subscriptions handle the recurring revenue.

What you are building

A niche job board - by industry, by region, by role - that Google for Jobs indexes correctly because every listing emits proper Schema.org JobPosting markup. Candidates filter by employment type, remote / on-site, salary band, location. Employers post jobs through a frontend wizard. You charge per-posting or via a subscription.

Think We Work Remotely, but for any vertical you own the audience for.

Why generic plugins lose the SEO race

Google for Jobs is the visibility multiplier for any modern job board. To rank there, every job listing must include valid JobPosting structured data with:

title, description, datePosted, validThrough
hiringOrganization (with logo + URL)
employmentType (FULL_TIME / PART_TIME / CONTRACTOR / TEMPORARY / INTERN)
jobLocation (or jobLocationType for remote)
baseSalary (where legally required)
experienceRequirements, educationRequirements, skills

Most directory plugins emit a generic LocalBusiness schema and call it a day. Listora ships a dedicated Job listing type with these fields wired in by default. Google for Jobs picks it up the first crawl.

What Listora delivers out of the box

Job-vertical fields. Job title, company name + logo, employment type (FT / PT / contract / temp / intern), remote-or-on-site toggle, salary band, application URL or email, valid-through date, skills tags.

Schema.org JobPosting markup. Auto-generated from the field values. Validates clean in Google’s Rich Results Test. Picked up by Google for Jobs typically within 48 hours of first crawl.

Frontend submission for employers. Multi-step wizard with draft auto-save. Employer enters company once, posts multiple jobs without re-typing. Email verification for guest employers (verified before listing goes live).

Faceted search. Filter by employment type, remote vs on-site, salary band, location, skill. URL-state preserved so a candidate can share a search.

Expiration handling. Action Scheduler auto-expires jobs past their valid-through date. Email reminder to employer 7 days before expiration prompts renewal.

Pro features that drive recurring revenue

Featured rotation. Top-of-results placement that rotates through a Featured pool. 100 credits per 30 days.
Verification badges. Verified Employer badge (admin-approved) builds candidate trust.
Lead capture. Per-job application form sends straight to the employer with the candidate’s resume attached. Conversion tracked per job.
Saved searches. Candidates save “remote, $80K+, Senior Backend” and get a daily alert when matching jobs post.

Monetization

Three viable models:

Per-posting fee. $99 per 30-day standard, $199 for featured. Stripe direct or WooCommerce. Credits hold during posting, commit when listing goes live.
Employer subscriptions. $499 / month unlimited postings + featured rotation included. WooCommerce Subscriptions or MemberPress.
Credit packs. Buy 10 postings for $799, use them over the year. Credit ledger tracks balance + expiration.

All three live on the same Pro pricing-plans surface. Switch between them based on the audience.

Schema.org JobPosting quick-check

After your first 3 jobs are published, test with Google’s Rich Results validator (search.google.com/test/rich-results). Every job listing should validate without warnings. If it does, Google for Jobs starts picking up your postings within 48 hours.
