Improving Your Page's SEO with the Wix SEO Assistant

Your focus keyword gives the SEO Assistant more information about your goals for your page. The SEO Assistant uses your keyword to create additional tasks with recommendations for improving your page.

If you're not sure what to add here, you can click Best practices to get some tips or click Get keyword ideas to research keywords with Keyword Research Tools.

This task means that your page is currently not indexed and will not appear in search engine results. 

Possible reasons for this include:

To let search engines index this page, follow the instructions in the task to resolve the issue.

You page's title tag is the title that search engines usually display for your page in search results. Adding a title tag to your page can help search engines to create an appropriate title for your page.

To complete this task, add your focus keyword to your page's title tag and click Apply.

Search engines may sometimes use other content on your page in search results if they decide that it's a better match for a search query.

Heading tags are elements in your site's HTML code that represent the headings on your page. Heading tags have a top-down hierarchy from H1 (Heading 1) to H6 (Heading 6).

Your post/service H1 tag is its title. To complete this task, edit your title so that it includes your focus keyword.

Note: This task only exists for Wix Blog post pages.

Heading tags are elements in your site's HTML code that represent the headings on your page. Heading tags have a top-down hierarchy from H1 (Heading 1) to H6 (Heading 6). H1 usually represents a page's title, while H2-H5 represent all other headings.

To complete this task, edit one of your post's H2 or H3 subheadings so that it includes your focus keyword.

You can help get your images found in search results like Google by adding text to them. Since search engines cannot “read” an image, they search your site's HTML code for text that describes the image. This text is known as “alt text”. 

Screen readers also read out the alt text to describe the media on your site.

To complete this task, follow the instructions to add alt text to all of the images in your post/service/product.

When you use Wix Multilingual to create language versions of your site, Wix automatically adds hreflang and x-default tags to the code of your multilingual pages.

These are HTML attributes that can help tell search engines like Google the language and geographical targeting of a page. 

Search engines sometimes use other content on your page to create the title and description that they display in search results. This happens if the search engine decides that this content is a better match for a search query.

Adding your focus keyword to the main text of your page can help give context to search engines and your audience.

To complete this task, add your focus keyword to the paragraph text.

Your page's meta description is the description that search engines usually display for your page in search results. Adding a meta description to your page can help search engines to create an appropriate description for your page.

How you complete this task depends on whether or not you added a focus keyword:

Search engines may sometimes use other content on your page in search results if they decide that it's a better match for a search query.

When you create a page for your site, Wix automatically creates a new URL for it. The URL is based on your site's domain and has a unique name for the page at the end of it (known as a URL slug). An example URL of this type is: "https://mystunningwebsite.com/about".

Your page's URL slug can help provide context about your page to search engines and your audience.

To complete this task, add your focus keyword to your URL slug. Use dashes between the words, for example "miracle-no-knead-homemade-bread". 

It's a good idea to create a 301 redirect when you change your page's URL slug. 301 redirects tell web browsers that the URL of a page on your site has changed permanently to a new URL. 301 redirects can also help you retain your page's ranking in search engine results after you change its URL. 
Note: If you are using the SEO Assistant with Wix Bookings, the redirect is automatically created for you.

Structured data markup gives search engines detailed information about your page. Adding structured data markup to your site's page can help improve your website's search results and ranking. By default, all of your blog posts have the Article (Blog Posting) Markup. All Bookings also have (course) Structured data by default.

You can customize your page's markup settings in the Advanced tab of your page's SEO panel. For Wix Blog, you can also customize the markup for all of your posts at the same time in your site's SEO settings.

Add visual content to make a page more engaging. Videos and images can bring more traffic to your site once the page is indexed. Make sure to add alt text to any images and choose unique images rather than using stock photos.

You don't have to use the SEO Assistant for your page to rank well in search results. Using the SEO Assistant can help improve your page's SEO, but it doesn't guarantee that your page will rank higher. Your page's ranking also depends on other factors such as the quality of the content on your page and each search engine's individual algorithms.

You also don't need to use the SEO Assistant on every page of your site. Use it on your site's most important pages and specific pages that you want to appear in search results.

If you don't want to use the SEO Assistant, you can customize the page's SEO panel with your own settings.

Currently, it's not possible to hide, skip, or delete a task. In most cases, you can leave any tasks that you don't want to complete.

However, an exception to this is the "Page not indexable" task. This task means that search engines can't index your page and it won't appear in search results. If you want your page to appear, you'll need to resolve this issue. Learn more about resolving indexing issues
