Multilingual, International & Non-English SEO on Wix

Advanced · 28 lessons

Reaching international audiences requires more than translating your content. This combined module covers multilingual SEO, right-to-left language support, and non-English market targeting across 28 lessons: Wix Multilingual app configuration, hreflang implementation, translated URL slugs, language-specific sitemaps, RTL layout optimisation, and ranking on Yandex, Baidu, Naver, and other search engines beyond Google.

Why This Matters for Wix Specifically

Wix Multilingual generates hreflang tags automatically but has specific limitations: you cannot customise the language subfolder structure, translated pages share the same template, and some third-party apps do not translate their generated content. Additionally, RTL languages require specific Wix editor adjustments that the standard multilingual setup wizard does not cover. This module addresses all of these Wix-specific internationalisation challenges. You will configure x-default hreflang tags for your primary language, translate URL slugs to include target-language keywords that Wix Multilingual supports, set up language-specific sitemaps that submit independently to regional Search Console properties, and implement RTL-compatible structured data that renders correctly in both left-to-right and right-to-left layouts. The module covers regional search engine optimisation for Yandex Webmaster Tools and Baidu Zhanzhang, including verification methods compatible with Wix and the content style preferences of non-Google search algorithms.
