How to Use Wix SEO Settings | Wix SEO

Hello, design enthusiasts and SEO aficionados! Ready to dive into the world of Wix SEO? Grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and let’s explore how you can leverage Wix SEO settings to elevate your website's presence in the search engine realm.

Before we plunge into details, let’s talk a bit about why SEO is the heart and soul of your online presence. In today’s digital age, it’s not enough to have a beautiful website—visibility is crucial. Imagine having the most stunning showcase in the world, but it’s hidden in a dark alley somewhere. SEO acts as the spotlight, shining on your site so potential visitors can find you easily.

What Makes Wix SEO Settings Special?

Wix SEO settings are your secret weapon for optimizing multiple pages with ease. Crystal Carter, Head of SEO Communications at Wix, shares fantastic insights in her video about best practices for using these settings. Imagine being able to apply the same SEO logic across an entire section of your website—it’s like having SEO superpowers!

Whether you’re handling main pages, blog posts, products, or archive pages, Wix makes it easy to create a systematic SEO strategy. So, let's break it down and see how you can optimize like a pro!

Getting Started with Wix SEO Settings

To access the magic box of Wix SEO settings, navigate to Marketing & SEO > SEO Tools > SEO Settings. Here, you’ll find a collection of tools categorized by page types: main pages, blog posts, product pages, etc.

Main Pages & Product Pages

Good news for everyone—Wix recently introduced new features which make editing SEO settings for main pages and product pages even quicker. Want to customize SEO for your site name, page name, or meta descriptions? You can do that with ease, and even preview changes before they go live.

And here's a nifty trick—test previews to see how your modifications might look on Google. Whether it's the social preview or structured data information, everything is at your fingertips through a user-friendly interface.

Editing by Page

In the past, working with SEO settings at a granular level required diving into the editor. Now, you can tweak individual pages from the backend CMS itself. Select a page, edit to your liking, see Google previews, check slugs, and edit meta descriptions. Who knew optimizing could be this straightforward?

You can also update elements related to social shares. If your goal is to captivate your audience on platforms like Twitter, make sure your images and descriptions are spot-on.

Navigating Product Pages

Jump into Product Settings to view your shop’s catalog. Adjust SEO for product URLs, page titles, and meta descriptions. The panel alerts you if your descriptions are too long, prompting you to ensure concise and impactful summaries instead.

For social sharing enthusiasts, edit image previews or text to make products more enticing on social media. And rejoice, because SEO settings ensure seamless automatic redirects from old to new pages, so your site's integrity is never compromised.

Creating a Systematic Approach

Setting rules for big categories ensures every child page adheres to your killer strategy. Use default settings—or customize—to streamline what works best for pages across your categories. Customize, analyze, and proceed!

A spotlight on *Structured Data Markup*—JSON-LD—brings highly formatted info to Google’s eyes, which is a critical piece of the SEO puzzle. Dive deep into Robots Meta Tags to tell bots exactly how to interact with your pages. From invisible (noindex) to bot-loved (max-image-preview), Wix gives you control down to the last detail.
