Search Pages are a powerful feature in Job Boardly that allow you to create targeted job listings based on categories, locations, or keywords. This feature enhances your job board's SEO and usability.

This guide explains how Search Pages work and how to manage them effectively.

Search page benefits

Full control

🚨🚨 Important note for pre-existing users before March 10th, 2025 🚨🚨

With this new feature, search pages no longer update automatically.

Previously, location search pages appeared in the footer when there were jobs posted for that location. Inversely, we hide location search pages without published jobs.

Now that you have full control of search pages, we're no longer creating, showing, or hiding them automatically.

We made this transition seamless for you. Any existing locations and category pages on your job board as of March 10th were automatically converted into search pages. 🧘

It’s important to review and audit your search pages regularly and remove or update any pages without relevant results.

Now that search pages can be created for any filter (including categories and locations) we've removed the category and location links toggle in the footer's design settings.
