Before you start

A connected custom domain (SEO doesn't matter on a free .wixsite.com URL)

Step by step

01
Open the SEO Setup Checklist
Dashboard → Marketing & SEO → SEO → Get Found on Google. Wix runs you through a wizard — fill it in, it generates a baseline.
02
Set homepage title and description
Editor → Pages → click the gear next to Home → SEO Basics. Title ≤60 chars including your brand, description ≤155 chars selling the click.
03
Repeat for every page
Don't leave the default 'Home | My Site'. Every page needs unique title + description — Google ignores duplicates.
04
Add a social share image
Same SEO Basics panel → Social Share. Upload a 1200×630 px image. This is what shows when someone shares your link on Facebook/LinkedIn.
05
Submit the sitemap
Wix auto-generates it at yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml. Open Google Search Console, add your site, then Sitemaps → submit 'sitemap.xml'.
