Wix Multilingual: Optimizing SEO Settings for Multilingual Sites
8 min read
Wix Multilingual lets you optimize your SEO settings for each language individually. This way, you can tailor your strategy for different locales and boost your online presence.
By default, Wix adds hreflang and x-default tags to the code of your site's multilingual pages. These are HTML attributes that can help tell search engines like Google the language and geographical targeting of a page. For example, when someone searches for your page, the hreflang tag helps the search engine find all the language versions of the page. It also helps search engines display the most appropriate version of your page based on the person's language and location.
In this article, you can learn how to optimize the SEO settings for the pages of your site's secondary languages.

Step 1 | Choose Keywords in Your Secondary Language
Before defining any SEO settings, choose the three keywords that are most likely to reach people in your secondary language. These should clearly describe your business or the services you offer. They could be words, or groups of words, that a user in that locale would enter into search engines.
Keep your localized keywords in mind and use them in SEO settings for your secondary language.
