Welcome back, readers. The most famous of the idioms rings true, all good things must end. So, we present the end of our six-week series, ‘Get the Optimal Effect’. So far, we’ve tackled Content, Automation, Engagement & Readability, D&I and Inclusivity and EVP: Employer brand proposition. This week, it’s SEO - Search Engine Optimisation. You could call SEO the most well-known cog in our Optimal-machine, and you’d be almost right. These days SEO skills are second to none regarding candidate attraction. How’s anyone going to apply if they can’t see your ad?

First, a bit about us: Get-Optimal was founded in 2019 by CEO Dan Fellows, who grew frustrated at the discussions around DE&I amounting to absolutely nothing. It was time, thought Dan, to get to work. To help businesses reduce bias in their job ads and promote diversity and inclusion, along with a world-class technology team, we trained a cutting-edge AI. A few algorithms later, Get-Optimal was born. We like to think the rest will be history.

Why do job ads need good SEO?

If you’re not familiar - SEO is a highly complex marketing strategy that involves (huge amounts in terms of structure, coherence, page speed, schema, etc) using keywords, that are scanned for by the major search engines, allowing them to index your content and rank its position in their returned search results. In job ads, it’s essential that you include as many different types of keywords as possible, as this will allow the diverse range of candidates needed to find, and apply for, your role. 94% of candidates start their Job search online with a google search, so including the correct keywords and a firm SEO strategy will widen the net in client attraction. It’s also important to consider the different terms that might apply to what you’re advertising for - a marketing manager might come under “digital marketing”, “marketing manager”, and “marketing executive” all at once.
