Short answer: search Google for site:yourdomain.com. If nothing shows, check four things in Wix: the site is published, "Let search engines index your site" is on in SEO settings, the pages you care about are not set to noindex, and the SEO Setup Checklist is complete so Google Search Console is connected and your sitemap submitted. Then inspect the page in Search Console's URL Inspection tool, request indexing, and give Google time.
Step 1: is it indexed at all?
Type site:yourdomain.com into Google. If you see your pages, you are indexed and the problem is ranking, which is step 6. If you see nothing, continue.
Step 2: publish and allow indexing
- Publish the site again after your last changes. Wix's help center says search engines can only index pages you have published.
- In the dashboard, open SEO settings and check that "Let search engines index your site" is on. It is easy to leave off after building.
Step 3: look for noindex on pages
Open the pages you care about in the editor, then their SEO settings, and check that "Let search engines index this page" is on. Wix also lets you set this for whole page types, such as blog posts or product pages, so check those settings too.
Step 4: connect Search Console and submit the sitemap
Complete the SEO Setup Checklist in the dashboard. Wix says this submits your site to Google and helps you connect Google Search Console. In Search Console, open Sitemaps and check that your sitemap was read without errors. Wix generates it for you at yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml.
Step 5: inspect the page
In Search Console, paste the page URL into URL Inspection. It tells you whether the page is indexed and, if not, why: crawled but not indexed, excluded by noindex, a redirect, or a duplicate of another page. If it is not indexed and nothing is wrong, click Request indexing. That puts the page in Google's queue; it does not guarantee a place in results.
Wix notes that some pages are not meant to be indexed, such as blog archive pages, and that Google may decide not to index a page for now. That is not always an error.
Step 6: indexed but nobody finds you
If site: shows your pages but you do not appear for searches, the site is indexed but not ranking. Common fixes:
- Put your business name, service and city in the home page SEO title and first heading.
- Give each service its own page with real text.
- Complete your Google Business Profile and link it to your site.
- Earn a few links from local directories, partners and press.
The same groundwork is what AI assistants read, so it also helps with Wix SEO and AI search.
Where Persqo helps
The steps above need nothing but Wix and Search Console. Persqo checks the rest:
- A Persqo visitor opens your live site and reports what blocks a stranger: an unclear first screen, a missing call to action, a broken form.
- With the Persqo app for Wix, the home page SEO title and description, business schema, an FAQ and llms.txt are one-click fixes with Undo, written through Wix's official APIs. Other findings come as Wix editor steps.

Questions people ask
How long does it take for a new Wix site to show on Google?
Google does not promise a time. A new site can take days to weeks to be crawled. Completing the Wix SEO Setup Checklist submits the site to Google, and requesting indexing in Search Console can help, but neither forces a page into results.
Why is my Wix site on Google but not for my business name?
If site:yourdomain.com shows pages, you are indexed. Ranking for your name usually needs your name in the home page title and heading, a complete Google Business Profile, and a few other sites linking to you.
Do I need a premium Wix plan for Google?
Google can index a free Wix site. Connecting your own domain needs a premium plan, and a custom domain is what most businesses want to appear in results.
