How to Make Your Wix Website Rank Higher in 2025

You’ve got a gorgeous Wix site… but if no one can find it on Google (or AI search tools like ChatGPT), it’s like opening a store in the middle of the desert.

The good news? Wix has seriously leveled up its SEO tools, especially with AI-powered optimization, and with a few smart moves, you can make your site climb the rankings in 2025.

Here’s how 👇

1. Start With Smart Keywords (Not Guesswork)

• Use Wix’s built-in SEO Assistant or tools like Semrush / Ahrefs.

• Focus on long-tail keywords your clients actually search:

  
  

  • “Website designer in Long Island”

  • “Wix SEO expert NY”

  • “How to optimize my Wix site for AI search”

• Place them naturally in your H1, H2s, and first 100 words.

👉 Pro tip: Avoid keyword stuffing, Google and AI prefer natural, conversational text.

2. Optimize Your Site Structure

Crawlers (and humans) love clean navigation.

• Keep one H1 per page with a clear service keyword.

• Use H2s and H3s to break content into scannable chunks.

• Link between pages: Homepage → Services → Portfolio → Blog → Contact.

👉 This not only helps SEO but also funnels visitors toward conversion.

3. Add Schema Markup & FAQs

Schema = the secret language of search engines.

• Add FAQPage, LocalBusiness, and Service schema to your Wix site.

• Write a simple FAQ section (with real questions clients ask).

• AI platforms love FAQs, they’re chunked, Q&A format, and easy to scrape.

4. Improve Your Local SEO

If you’re serving Long Island or NY businesses, this is non-negotiable.

• Add your NAP (Name, Address, Phone) to your footer.

• Embed a Google Map on your contact page.

• Get reviews on Google + other platforms (AI tools crawl Reddit, Quora, Wealthtender too).

5. Boost Site Speed & Mobile Performance

Wix Studio sites are already mobile-friendly, but you can:

• Compress images before uploading.

• Enable lazy loading for images.

• Keep custom code light.

  
  

  👉 Google’s Core Web Vitals directly affect rankings.

6. Publish Content Consistently

AI and Google love fresh, relevant content.

• Post 1 blog per week (1,200–1,800 words).

• Focus on answering real client questions.

• Share posts on LinkedIn + Instagram (Google now crawls IG).

7. Optimize for AI Search in 2025

This is the new frontier.

• Format content in short, answerable chunks.

• Use natural, question-style headers (like this blog does).

• Appear on platforms LLMs crawl most: LinkedIn, Reddit, YouTube, podcasts.

👉 Remember: AI search traffic converts 4.4x higher than regular Google traffic.

Ranking your Wix site in 2025 isn’t about chasing algorithms, it’s about being clear, crawlable, and consistently helpful.

With the right SEO + AI optimization, your Wix site can move from invisible → visible → profitable.
