< Back Promoting your site SEO (get found on Google) Adding SEO Title Tags and Meta Descriptions to Your Pages Meta tags are snippets of text that describe your page’s content. Meta tags are not visible on the page itself. They appear in the page's code and tell search engines how to display the page in search results. Search engines usually use your page's title tag and meta description for its search result. Optimizing these two meta tags can help search engines display the most accurate information for your pages. Important: Search engines may sometimes use other content on your page if they decide that it's a better match for a search query. Understanding title tags Your page's title tag is the title that search engines usually display for your page in search results. For example, your title tag may appear below your page's URL in Google search results. A clear title tag in search results helps potential site visitors decide whether or not to visit your site. Your page's title tag should be clear and concise with a focus on your page’s target keywords. It's also a good idea to include the name of your business or site in the title tag. Here are some more tips for writing effective title tags: Make each page's title tag unique. This helps your site visitors and search engines differentiate between the pages of your site. Make the length of your title tag less than 60 characters. Search engines often trim title tags that are longer than this. Use the pipe sign | to distinguish different parts of your title. If you own a local business, we recommend using the following format: Keyword | Location | Brand Name . Including the location can help search engines know to display your site to searchers in your area. An example of this is: "Nature Photography | Seattle | Daniel Forest". If you do not have a local business, use the following format: Keyword | Brand Name . An example of this is: "Nature Photography | Daniel Forest". You can also add symbols and emojis to your page's title tag. Want to learn more about writing title tags? Check out our video about writing great title tags in the Wix SEO Learning Hub . Understanding meta descriptions Your page's meta description is the description that search engines usually display for your page in search results. For example, it's the description that displays below your page's title tag in Google search results. Your page's meta description gives your potential site visitors a summary of what your page is about before they visit it. You should make each page's meta description unique to help your site visitors decide if your page contains what they're looking for. Here are some more tips for writing effective meta descriptions: Make your meta description between 50-160 characters long so that it displays correctly in search results. For example, Google usually trims meta descriptions at around 160 characters. Use your target keywords in the meta description. For example, here is a meta description for a nature photography business: "Explore Daniel Forest’s breathtaking shots of Seattle’s mountain views and winter wildlife". Add a call to action to your description. For example, "Learn how to take your own beautiful photographs of the world around you". You can also add symbols and emojis to your page's meta description. AI bots rely on an accurate meta description when summarizing your page, so describe it clearly instead of stuffing keywords. Want to learn more about writing meta descriptions?

< Back Promoting your site SEO (get found on Google) Adding Structured Data Markup to Your Site's Pages Important: Structured data markup is an advanced topic. Wix Customer Care cannot help you with any changes to your markup. However, if you experience any errors, you can check out our structured data markup troubleshooting help . Need help from an expert? You can hire an SEO professional from the Wix Marketplace. Structured data markup is a standardized format for giving search engines detailed information about your page. You can use AI-generated structured data for blog posts, or add manual structured data markup to other page types. Search engines like Google can also use markup to create rich results like article previews, product previews, and FAQs for your page's search results. Note: Adding structured data markup to your site's pages does not guarantee that search engines will create rich results for them. Using AI-generated structured data for blog posts Important: AI-generated structured data currently works only for Wix Blog posts. To add structured data to other page types, use manual structured data markup. AI-generated structured data scans your blog post content and creates relevant schema markup for you. This is useful if you want Wix to generate and refresh markup automatically for your published blog posts. To enable AI-generated structured data for blog posts: Go to SEO & GEO in your site's dashboard. Scroll down to Tools and settings . Click SEO Settings . Click Blog posts under Edit by page type . Click the Customize defaults tab. Click Edit next to Structured data markup . Click the toggle next to Activate AI-generated markups for your blog . Click Save .

Use this option if AI-generated structured data is not available for the page type you need, or if you want to create and manage custom JSON-LD markup yourself. Before adding your markup, create the JSON-LD code you want to use. You can try using a tool like this markup generator tool . Select a markup type from the dropdown menu and customize it for your content. Alternatively, you can get markup models from Schema.org and customize them for your page's content. These markup models are known as "types" and correspond to different types of content like articles, products, and FAQs. Each type has its own specific set of properties. For example, an "Article" type markup includes properties for the author, publishing date, and publisher. After you've created your markup, you can then check if it's eligible for rich results using the Google Rich Result Tests tool . Below is an example of a Rich Results Test of the markup for a course on a Wix site. Some of your site's pages like Wix Stores product pages already come with preset markup when you create them. You can customize the markup for these pages in your site's SEO Settings . Important: Wix only accepts structured data using JSON-LD markups. Structured Data must be less than 7,000 characters to be added. Google guidelines require the information in the markup to be part of your page.

< Back Promoting your site SEO (get found on Google) Changing the Canonical Tags for Your Site's Pages Important: Changing your canonical tags can have an effect on how your site appears in search results. Before making any changes here, we recommend learning more about canonical URLs . Wix automatically creates a default canonical URL for all of your pages. You can change the canonical tag for a page in the Advanced SEO tab if you have multiple URLs that go to that page. The canonical tag tells search engines to index only this page and show it in search results for a given keyword or search phrase . Understanding canonical tags If you have different URLs that load the same page on your site, search engines choose one URL and consider it the primary one. This is the only URL that appears in search results. Other URLs are treated as duplicates and receive less attention from search engines. For example, you may have duplicate versions of a page if you apply tracking parameters to the end of a URL. The URLs below contain different parameters, but lead to the same page: https://www.mystunningwebsite.com/services https://www.mystunningwebsite.com/services?fb=1 https://www.mystunningwebsite.com/services?UTM_campaign=fallCampaign Changing the canonical tag for one of these pages lets search engines know that this is the page version they should index and show in search results. Tip: Canonical tags also help AI crawlers, such as those used by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews, understand which URL is the primary version of your page. For more control over how AI tools understand and represent your site, you can view and edit your site's llms.txt file . Changing a custom canonical tag You can customize the default canonical tag of your page in the SEO Basics tab. This is the self-referencing canonical URL which we recommend not to change. Important: When you change the default canonical tag for a page, the page's URL may disappear from your sitemap. To restore the page URL to your sitemap, remove the canonical tag . To change a custom canonical tag: Wix Editor Go to your editor . Click Pages & Menu on the left side of the editor. Click the More Actions icon next to the relevant page. Click SEO basics .
