Is there a way to make a Wix website optimized for SEO without using custom domain?

I don't know whether or not this is on-topic... I have set up a Wix website so that I can have a forum for my HTML website, and I want the Wix website to be found on Google without paying for premium. How can I enable SEO without paying money?

Solution

  • Hope this answers your question.

    According to Wix, Yes you can rank your free website:

    "We guarantee that all of your site content can be crawled and indexed by search engines (e.g. Google and Bing) whether you have a Premium site or not." Referring Article

    Using GitHub Page + Forms

    You mentioned wanting Wix for a contact form. Here are some alternative ways to get a contact form on your GitHub Page

    1. Netlify Contact Form + GitHub Page via hywel
    2. Use a strong Call to Action (CTA) with a link to a form like Google Forms, Typeform, MailChimp etc

    Steps to Rank Your Free Wix Website

    Increase the page rank and SEO without paying for Wix.

    1. Use the Wix Verification section to claim ownership.

      • Dashboard > SEO Tools > Site Verification
      • You can't use the wizard in "Step 1: Get your homepage ready for Google Search".
      • When you read about using GSC, look at the Google documentation or recent content (last year or few years).

    2. Fill out the meta data for each page.

    3. Give your images relevant descriptive names.

    4. Use an online image compression tool to reduce the file size of your images before uploading.
