The Wix SEO Assistant helps you optimize your site for search engines. It identifies potential issues with your site and gives you recommendations that you can follow to improve your page's content, structure, and SEO attributes. For example, it will remind you to perform a site inspection if it’s been a while, or write a blog post every 30 days.
The SEO Assistant is available in the SEO & GEO section of the Marketing tab in your dashboard.

Step 1 | (Optional) Complete your SEO Setup Checklist

Next, work to complete any tasks that the assistant has identified as an issue. These issues are organized by priority, ranging from critical to low.
It's important to complete any tasks labelled as critical. A "Critical" label means, for example, that search engines may not be able to index your site, and it may not appear in search results. Learn more about indexing issues
