Google Sitelinks: What They Are & How to Get Them on Wix

Beginner · 10 lessons

Google Sitelinks are the additional navigation links that appear below your main search result, giving you significantly more SERP real estate and higher click-through rates. This module explains exactly how Google selects Sitelinks, what site architecture signals influence them, and the 10 practical steps you can take on your Wix site to earn and influence which Sitelinks appear for your brand searches. Earning Sitelinks for branded queries can increase your click-through rate by over 20 percent, directly reducing clicks to competitors below you.

Why This Matters for Wix Specifically

Wix's navigation structure, internal linking patterns, and URL hierarchy all feed into Google's Sitelinks algorithm. Unlike WordPress where plugins can suggest Sitelinks via schema, on Wix you must rely on site architecture, clear navigation, and proper internal linking. This module shows you the Wix-specific architectural patterns that consistently earn Sitelinks. You will restructure your Wix navigation menu to surface your highest-value pages within one click of the homepage, implement breadcrumb schema that reinforces your site hierarchy to Google, optimise your anchor text strategy so internal links use descriptive text rather than generic labels, and learn how the Wix header and footer link structure feeds Google's Sitelinks algorithm. The module covers real before-and-after case studies showing how Wix sites earned four-line and six-line Sitelinks through specific architectural changes.
