How to get your Wix website to show up on Google

A new site does not appear on Google overnight. Here is what to do so it gets found faster.

To get your Wix website to show up on Google, start with these basic steps.

Google needs to find your site, understand it and trust it. You cannot force a ranking, but you can make each step easy.

1. Make sure the site is public

Publish the site and check that you have not turned on any setting that hides it from search engines.

2. Add it to Google Search Console

Search Console is a free Google tool. Verify your domain, then submit your sitemap. Wix creates a sitemap automatically, usually at yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml.

3. Write clear titles and descriptions

Each page needs a unique title that says what it is, for example “Wedding photographer in Lahore | Studio Name”. Add a short description that makes people want to click.

4. Use words your customers use

Write about what you sell in plain language. If people search “cheap logo design for startups”, a page that says exactly that has a better chance.

5. Set up a Google Business Profile

For businesses with a real location or service area, this is a major source of local customers. See our setup guide.

6. Get links and reviews

Listings in honest business directories and genuine customer reviews build trust over time.

7. Be patient

It can take weeks for a new site to appear and months to climb. Keep adding useful pages and articles. Be careful with anyone who guarantees a number one ranking, because nobody can.

Use the Wix SEO checklist to tick off the details.
