I am having an issue with multiple Job Postings on our website.

We offer jobs in multiple location across Canada. All job pages contain an "LD+JSON" structured data for a jobPosting, based on Google's documentation for JobPostings: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/data-types/job-posting

Each job postings include a jobLocation section, containing a city, province and country. We do not have access to street-level address information.

While our jobPostings show up on Google for Jobs, their location show up with our CompanyHQ's address, "Ottawa, ON (+1 other)".

This page is a good example:
https://altisprofessional.com/Opportunity?IsASearch=true&OpportunityNumber=2060658 While the metadata on this page clearly indicates the jobLocation to be "Toronto, Ontario, Canada", the location shows up as "Ottawa, ON", which is our company`s HQ.

Google for Jobs showing wrong location

If I change the hiringOrganization name to something bogus, then the location specified in the "LD+JSON" data is used and shows up correctly.

Anyone know how to get Google to display the provided jobLocation in the results?

FYI: some people are having the same issue on Google forums... Thought I would try the expert community here for an answer as Google seems to be silent on the issue.

Try this, it might help:

Perform a Google map search on the streetAddress you have provided as part of the Structured Data. If it doesn't exactly map to a business(in this case yours), Google picks the default display name as in your case.

  • Interesting. I will give that a try! – JFTxJ Jun 10 '20 at 13:59
  • Unfortunately this does not work. If you read my question carefully, I specify that "We do not have access to street-level address information." We only provide "city, province and country". Also, even if we did, being a staffing agency, we offer staffing services in WAY more cities and location then we have offices (like most staffing agencies). – JFTxJ Jun 17 '20 at 12:30
