We've got some juicy insights from the recent live webinar hosted by Wix, revealing their groundbreaking SEO product drops for 2023. Let's dive into the nitty-gritty of the updates that can seriously level up your website game!

Meet the Minds Behind Wix's SEO Magic

The session was nothing short of spectacular, featuring Morty Oberstein, the charismatic co-host and SEO advocate, along with Anat Hazan and Shir Amit, the driving forces behind Wix's latest SEO innovations. These folks have been working tirelessly to bring users like us cutting-edge SEO tools designed to enhance website performance and visibility. And they didn't disappoint!

IndexNow: Turbocharge Your Page Indexation

One of the most talked-about drops was IndexNow, a feature rolled out in collaboration with Bing. Imagine notifying search engines about changes on your web page in real-time—sounds dreamy, right? IndexNow aims to cut down the time it takes until your content is crawled and indexed. This is especially great for dynamic sites or when you're pushing a lot of new content. As a Wix premium user, you don’t have to lift a finger—it's all automated. Just make your changes, and Wix does the rest, pinging search engines instantly.

A New Dawn: The Comprehensive SEO Dashboard

Wix introduced a slick new SEO Dashboard that encapsulates everything you need for optimization. Gone are the days of fiddling with scattered tools. Now, you’ve got an all-in-one dashboard that offers:

- Integration with Google Search Console

- Tailored SEO articles

- Deep insights into site performance

Whether you're a rookie or a seasoned pro, the dashboard guides you with intuitive reports and analytics, helping you decode what’s working and what’s not at a glance.

SEO Assistant: Your On-Page Guardian Angel

Brace yourself for the SEO Assistant, a tool that's been a cornerstone of Wix's updates this year. Available both at the site level and individual page level, the assistant acts as your personalized SEO consultant:

- It audits your site, sniffing out issues faster than a bloodhound on a scent.

- Provides task lists prioritized by importance.

- Helps you tackle common SEO hurdles like no-index tags or missing metadata.

Expect this feature to get even smarter in 2024, incorporating AI-driven insights and recommendations to keep your site in tip-top shape.

Dynamic and Hierarchical: Site Structures Done Right

Wix shook things up with dynamic enhancements and a brand-new Site Hierarchy feature. For those managing hefty, content-rich websites, this is music to your ears. It simplifies creating parent-child relationships between pages and ensures your URL structure reflects this hierarchy. Not only does this improve SEO, but it enhances user navigation—a win-win!

The Power of Keywords: SE Ranking Joins the Party

Wix has amped up their keyword research toolkit by partnering with SE Ranking, complementing their existing integration with Semrush. This duo offers robust insights into keyword trending, volume, and competition, directly aiding your SEO strategy. Whether you’re a keyword newbie or a seasoned veteran, having access to these tools makes choosing effective keywords a breeze.

Blogging and Bulk Actions: Keeping It Cool

Wix hasn't forgotten about the bloggers. They've now made managing blogs easier by integrating full SEO capabilities, allowing you to edit numerous posts simultaneously. Their AI Meta Tag Creator also deserves a mention—it crafts perfectly optimized meta tags in seconds. Talk about saving time while enhancing your site’s appeal!

What's Next?

Looking ahead, the Wix team is focused on expanding SEO capabilities even further. Expect more AI integrations, advanced professional editing features, and multilingual support in 2024. The excitement doesn't stop here!
