Wix SEO Setup Checklist: Viewing and Updating Your Keywords
The Wix SEO Setup Checklist is a step-by-step checklist that can help you improve your site's search engine optimization (SEO) based on your business's information and your keywords.
Your site's keywords power the SEO that helps you rank higher in Google, and the GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) that helps your site get surfaced and cited by AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity.
After you've created your checklist, you can view your checklist's keywords and update them if needed.

The keywords in your SEO Checklist are the one that you entered when you initially set up your checklist. You can view your keywords at the top of your SEO checklist.

FAQs
Click a question below to learn more about keywords in the SEO Setup Checklist.
Can I add more than 3 keywords to the SEO Setup Checklist?
We allow adding up to 3 keywords to the SEO Setup Checklist when you build your checklist as it's easier to focus on a small number of keywords when optimizing your site for the first time.
After you've built your checklist, you can add up to 5 keywords in your checklist settings.
However, the Wix SEO Setup Checklist only uses these keywords to create a plan for your site. This means that you can apply the same recommendations to any other keyword you need to incorporate in your content.
For example, you can add as many keywords as needed to your home page's text as long as it's an organic part of the content.
Can I add keywords in more languages?
Yes. You can follow the same plan suggested by the SEO Setup Checklist with keywords in any other language.

Why aren't my keywords shown in the site's source code?
The SEO Setup Checklist doesn't automatically add any keyword to your site's source code as it's generally not a good practice.
When reviewing your site, Google and other search engines don't search for a list of keywords in your site's source code to understand what it's about. Rather, they look for keywords that are organically implemented in your content.
How do I choose good keywords?
Think in questions, not just phrases. AI search tools answer full questions, not keyword fragments. For each keyword, think about the question a visitor might type into an AI chatbot. For example, instead of entering "wedding photographer Austin", enter "Who's the best wedding photographer in Austin?"
Keywords framed this way make it easier to write page content and meta descriptions that match how people query AI engines, which is part of what improves your AI visibility and GEO.

Why can't I find my site in search engines when using my keywords?
It takes time for search engines to crawl, review and rank your site. Generally, the more competitive your keywords are, the more time and effort it will take to boost your site's ranking in search results.
