Wix SEO Audit — See Through the SEO Wiz
Wix-tuned audit reads what your site actually ships, not what the SEO Wiz dashboard claims.
Wix's SEO Wiz walks you through a setup wizard and shows you green checkmarks. SEOGrade reads what's actually rendering on your live site — which often differs significantly. Common gaps include missing schema, AI bots blocked by default, and the Wix mobile site shipping different markup than desktop. Paste your URL and we'll show you what crawlers really see.
Common SEO issues on Wix sites
Wix SEO Wiz reports green but your live HTML is missing fields
Title and description set in SEO Wiz can be overridden by the page-level SEO panel that takes priority. We read the rendered HTML, not the dashboard claims.
Mobile site ships different content than desktop
Wix maintains separate mobile and desktop versions. Hidden-on-mobile elements still load — bloating page weight — but content visible only on desktop won't get indexed by Google's mobile-first crawler.
No schema markup beyond LocalBusiness
Wix auto-emits LocalBusiness schema if you fill in business info. Article, FAQPage, Product, BreadcrumbList all require manual JSON-LD via the Velo editor or Custom Code.
Slow page weight from Wix's editor scripts
Even simple Wix sites ship 2-3MB of JavaScript for the editor framework. Mobile LCP commonly clears 5 seconds without active optimization.
URL structure includes dashes-and-numbers slugs by default
Wix appends post IDs to blog URLs (/blog-post-name-2x4) unless you manually rename slugs. Long, ugly URLs hurt CTR.
How to fix them
Verify rendered HTML matches your SEO Wiz settings
Check the actual <title> and <meta description> in your live page source. If they differ from SEO Wiz, the page-level SEO settings (in the page editor) are overriding the wizard.
Match mobile and desktop content
In the editor, switch to Mobile view. Anything hidden 'mobile only' or 'desktop only' should still exist in the DOM. Move critical content into shared layout zones.
Add JSON-LD via Custom Code or Velo
Settings → Custom Code → Head. Drop FAQPage, Article, and Product JSON-LD per page type. We provide the exact snippets in the report.
Strip un-used Wix apps and animations
Each installed app adds JS weight. Audit your installed apps and remove anything you're not actively using. Disable unnecessary entrance animations.
Manually edit blog post slugs
In the blog manager, edit each post's URL slug to remove the auto-appended ID. Set up 301 redirects from old URLs.
