Missing Google Analytics Tab in Integrations

If you don’t see the Google Analytics tab in your Integrations settings, this is likely due to your current Firefish package.

Google for Jobs is available only to Professional and Enterprise version subscribers.

Persistent 404 Error

If you consistently encounter a 404 error during the final stage of setup, it may be due to a corrupted integration attempt.

Jobs Not Showing on Google

If your jobs aren’t appearing in Google for Jobs search results:

• Firefish formats and publishes your job data using Google’s API requirements.
• Google then indexes and displays that data at its discretion.

Things to check:

• In Settings > Integrations > Google Analytics – click the Test Google service key and ensure it returns a green tick.
• Paste one of your Advert links into Google’s testing tool.
• Verify that all adverts you expect to see have been re-posted since you last updated the integration.

The Setup Process Feels Too Complex

We understand that setting up the integration can feel overwhelming. Google’s own API documentation is complex, but we’ve simplified the process as much as we can.
