Wix SEO Setup Assistant: using AI-powered recommendations at launch

The Wix SEO Setup Assistant generates a personalised checklist of priority SEO tasks based on your business type, target location and site structure. Used correctly at launch, it eliminates the most common initial configuration errors and gives you a clear, prioritised action plan from day one.

Accessing the Wix SEO Setup Assistant

Access the Setup Assistant from your Wix Dashboard by navigating to Marketing & SEO > Get Found on Google. The assistant asks you a series of questions about your business type, main keyword focus and location before generating your personalised checklist. Spend time on these answers — the quality of your inputs directly affects the quality of the recommendations.

How the AI Tailors Recommendations

• Business type determines schema recommendations (LocalBusiness, Organization, Service, etc.)
• Location inputs drive local SEO task prioritisation
• Page count affects the crawlability and sitemap tasks surfaced
• Industry category influences specific keyword and content suggestions
• Connected tools (GSC, Analytics) determine verification tasks shown

Priority Order: What to Complete First

Recommended implementation sequence

• Domain connection and HTTPS verification (always first)
• Google Search Console connection and sitemap submission
• Google Analytics 4 connection
• Title tag and meta description completion for all main pages
• Business schema markup installation
• Image alt text completion across the site
• Blog and content-specific setup tasks (if applicable)

Tracking Setup Assistant Progress

The Setup Assistant tracks completed tasks and shows a percentage completion score. Aim for 100% on technical tasks before moving to content creation. Return to the assistant monthly — Wix updates the recommendations as your site grows and as new SEO features are released.

How to Complete the Wix SEO Setup Assistant from Start to Finish

How to run through the Wix SEO Setup Assistant and implement every recommendation

• Log in to your Wix Dashboard and navigate to Marketing & SEO > SEO Dashboard. Click Get Started on the SEO Setup Checklist to launch the assistant.
• Answer each question in the setup questionnaire carefully: enter your business type, primary keyword focus, and target location with precision, as these drive the personalised task list.
• Once the checklist generates, review all tasks and mark any that are already complete to get an accurate picture of what still needs to be done.
• Complete the domain connection and HTTPS tasks first if they appear — these are foundational and must be done before any other SEO work has value.
• Connect Google Search Console by following the Setup Assistant link to Dashboard > Marketing & SEO > Google Search Console > Connect, then verify your site.
• Connect Google Analytics 4 via the Setup Assistant prompt, which guides you to the Analytics integration settings in your Wix Dashboard.
• Complete the title tag and meta description tasks: for each page highlighted, open the Wix Editor, click the page, open the SEO panel, and fill in the SEO Basics tab fields.
• Install any recommended business schema markup by following the Setup Assistant link to the structured data section, or by adding JSON-LD via the Advanced SEO tab.
• Complete image alt text tasks by clicking each image in the Wix Editor, selecting Settings, and entering descriptive text in the Alternative Text field.
• Return to the Setup Assistant monthly to check for newly added tasks as Wix updates the checklist with new SEO feature recommendations.
