Optimizing Your Site with the Wix SEO Assistant
3 min read
The Wix SEO Assistant helps you optimize your site for search engines. It identifies potential issues with your site and gives you recommendations that you can follow to improve your page's content, structure, and SEO attributes. For example, it will remind you to perform a site inspection if it’s been a while, or write a blog post every 30 days.
The SEO Assistant is available in the SEO section of the Marketing & SEO tab in your dashboard.

Next, work to complete any tasks that the assistant has identified as an issue. These issues are organized by priority, ranging from critical to low.
