Google Working On Fixing Problem With Wix Web Sites Not Showing Up In Search Results

There are reports that Wix web sites are currently not being indexed and ranked by Google. Wix is a popular web site building platform used by many smaller businesses and professionals to build their web presence.

The issue seems to have cropped up about two weeks ago but today, Google has confirmed there is an issue. Google’s John Mueller said they are working on the Google end to bring the Wix web pages back into the index. John said in a support thread, “we’re working on resolving things here on our side in the meantime.” “One thing that you might notice is that we’ll be recrawling these sites a bit faster to get the dropped pages back into the index a bit faster,” John Mueller added.

John said that Google’s team has taken an “in-depth look at the setup on these sites” and is working to fix it on the Google indexing end.

It seems like the best bet for any one using a Wix web site is to just wait it out. Google seems to have expedited the re-indexing of these web sites and it seems you should see your web pages return in the Google index fairly soon.

Wix is heavy on the AJAX/JavaScript side, so I am not sure if Google recently changed something on their end or if it was a change on the Wix side.

You can keep track of your index count in the Google Search Console. But John Mueller asked that you keep Google up-to-date on your Wix indexing issues in this support thread.
