Create “Static” Listing Pages for SEO

Often times it is beneficial to create “static” result pages that be linked to directly. This way you can construct URLs in any manner you would like. For example:

All Listings in London
http://yourwebsite.com/london/

1
Visit Pages > Add New
2
Insert the following shortcode in the description: [jobs location=London]
3
Assign the Listings Page Template in Page Attributes

Restaurants in London
http://yourwebsite.com/london/restaurants/

1
Visit Pages > Add New
2
Insert the following shortcode in the description: [jobs location=London categories=restaurants selected_category=38]As of Listify 1.8 you must also pass the selected_category ID.
3
Assign the Listings Page Template in Page Attributes
4
Assign the London page as the Parent in Page Attributes

You can repeat this process with any parent/child relationship you would like. For a full list of available shortcode options click here.

No Filters

If you do not want to display search filters above these listings please do not use the [jobs show_filters=false] parameter. Instead create a widgetized page and add the Listings widget with the necessary filters.

Regions

If you have “Filter by Region” enabled with WP Job Manager – Predefined Regions, you can pass selected_region=1, where 1 is the ID of the region term.  [jobs selected_region=1]

FacetWP

Unfortunately this technique cannot be used with FacetWP.
