Wix SEO: how to get your pages indexed by Google

Wix used to deserve its reputation as SEO-hostile. Modern Wix is genuinely capable — it generates sitemaps, lets you control meta tags, and renders content crawlers can read. But like every site builder, it won't proactively tell Google about new pages, and a few Wix-specific settings can quietly block indexing.

Turn on and check the essentials

1. Make sure your site is published and connected to a custom domain — not just a preview or a free wixsite.com URL.
2. In the Wix SEO settings, confirm "Let search engines index this site" is enabled (it can be off during development).
3. Connect Wix to Google Search Console via the built-in SEO tools, then submit your sitemap (yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml).
4. Set unique SEO titles and descriptions per page using Wix's SEO panel.

Wix-specific things that block indexing

• Per-page index toggles: Wix lets you set individual pages to noindex — check that important pages aren't switched off.
• Hidden pages and pages not in the menu can become orphans with no internal links pointing to them.
• Wix Stores product and collection pages sometimes need their own SEO attention; don't assume the defaults are optimal.
• Heavy animations and large media can drag Core Web Vitals; Wix sites are prone to slow LCP if media isn't optimized.

Verify it worked

Run a status check on each new page after a day. If a page is stuck on "Discovered — not indexed," make sure it's linked from your navigation or another indexed page, then re-push. If it's "Excluded by noindex," check that per-page Wix toggle.
