Do you want to boost your Wix website or Wix blog ranking on Google, but don't know how to
do Wix SEO? In this Wix tutorial, I'll show you step-by-step how to get found online with ease.
Hi, I’m Marina, and my goal is to help you say "Yes To Tech"
by sharing simple tutorials for non-techie entrepreneurs.
You'll first need a Wix account to do Wix SEO, so if you don't have a Wix account yet,
make sure to click on the link in the description box below
to sign up for free. Once you've logged in to your Wix account,
hover your mouse over the website you wish to do Wix SEO on, and then click on 'select site'.
Hover your mouse over 'marketing & SEO' from the left-hand side panel, and then click on 'SEO
tools'. There are a number of Wix SEO tools to optimize your site for search engines so
more people can find you online: there is this get found on Google section, which is the Wix SEO Wiz,
sitemaps, robots.txt editor, SEO patterns, site verification and URL redirect manager.
Let's go over each one, starting with get found on Google, which is the Wix SEO Wiz.
Wix SEO Wiz will provide you with your SEO setup checklist, including the keywords you want to
rank for, all the steps you need to complete to get your homepage ready for Google search,
to optimize your site pages for search engines, and to keep building on your SEO progress.
Once a Wix SEO task has been completed, a green checkmark will appear next to it.
Uncompleted tasks will have a red exclamation point next to them instead.
To complete that task, click on it. The Wix SEO Wiz will tell you why that
SEO step is important, as well as how to complete it.
Once you've completed it, come back to this page, and then click on 'refresh'.
Let's head back to the Wix SEO tools section, and click on 'sitemaps'. Sitemaps help search engines
find the most important pages of your site. As you can see, my sitemaps are optimized to follow
SEO best practices, and if you wish to view your sitemaps, click on 'view your sitemap index'.
Let's head back to the Wix SEO tools section, and click on 'robots.txt editor'. You can edit your
robots.txt file to tell search engines which pages of your site to crawl. As you can see,
my robots.txt file is optimized, but most sites don’t need to customize their robots.txt file,
so Wix SEO recommends only advanced SEO users make changes.
Let's head back to the Wix SEO tools section, and click on 'SEO patterns'. This is where you
can edit your site's default SEO settings here. They'll automatically update across your site.
You can edit the SEO patterns for your main pages, forum posts, forum categories, pro galleries,
blog posts, blog categories, blog tags and blog archive pages
by clicking on 'edit pattern', and then editing the SEO basics and social share,
structured data markup, robots meta tag, and additional meta tags.
Let's head back to the Wix SEO tools section, and click on 'site verification'. This is where you
can add meta tags from search engines to verify and claim ownership of your site, including Google
search console, Pinterest, Bing webmaster tools, Yandex webmaster, and Naver webmaster tools.
If for some reason you're unable to find the search engine you’re looking for,
you can add it manually using custom code.
Let's head back to the Wix SEO tools section, and click on 'URL redirect manager'.
This is where you can send site visitors and search engines from an old URL to a new URL.
All you have to do is click on the 'new redirect' button,
select whether you want it to be a single redirect or a group redirect,
insert the URLs in the space provided, and then click on 'save' at the bottom.
Now that we've covered all of the Wix SEO tools, let's click on 'quick access' from
the left-hand side panel, and then on 'edit site' so that I can show you how to do further
Wix SEO from your Wix website editor. The first place you can do Wix SEO is on your site pages.
To do so, click on 'menus and pages' from the left-hand side panel, click on the three
little dots next to the page you want to do SEO on, and then click on 'SEO basics'.
From here, you can set the page's URL slug, which is the last part of the URL, the page's title tag,
which is its title in search results, add the page's meta description, which is the description
in search results, and toggle whether you want to let search engines index this page or not.
You can also click on the 'advanced SEO' tab up top to add structured data markup,
robots meta tag, and additional tags to this page. If you have a multilingual Wix website,
you can customize the advanced SEO tags for each version of this page.
From here, you can also hire a Wix SEO partner to help with your SEO.
Let's x out of the site pages popup, and click on an image on your website
for me to show you another place where you can do Wix SEO. Click on 'settings' from its
individual toolbar, scroll down until you reach the image text section, and make sure
to fill out the alt text and tooltip sections to improve your site's SEO and accessibility.
Once you're done doing Wix SEO, click on 'save' and then on 'publish' on the top,
right-hand side to make your changes active.
