Challenges
A website faced a manual action from Google due to spammy structured markup.
The primary issue identified was a poorly structured job description schema with misaligned content, including improper use of anchor tags and missing critical information such as qualifications, skills, and responsibilities.
The description lacked structure and clarity. Irrelevant anchor tags were used, potentially flagged as manipulative.
Solution Implemented
Proposed Description Format
A structured and concise description using compliant HTML tags.
Best Practices Ensured
Added all required fields (responsibilities, qualifications, skills, etc.). Removed anchor tags to avoid manipulation flags. Maintained consistency between on-page and schema data.
Outcome
The manual action was lifted after implementing the corrections, ensuring compliance with Google’s structured data guidelines and improving the overall user experience and discoverability of job postings.
