AEO for Wix: get cited by AI search
Wix handles basic SEO, but AEO needs structured data and AI-crawler access it does not fully expose. This guide covers what you can control on Wix — schema via custom code, meta, and content shape — to get cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI.
Platform note: Wix offers SEO settings and custom code (via Velo/embeds) but limited control over robots.txt and file paths.
How to do AEO on Wix
- 1
Check crawler access
Review your Wix robots.txt and SEO settings so AI crawlers are not blocked; validate the live file with the Robots.txt AI-crawler checker.
- 2
Add JSON-LD with custom code
Use Wix custom code (or Velo) to inject Organization, Article, and FAQPage JSON-LD. Generate and validate it with the JSON-LD tools.
- 3
Publish an llms.txt where possible
Wix limits file paths; where you cannot host /llms.txt directly, use a proxy or focus on strong on-page structured data and content.
- 4
Write answer-first pages
Add FAQ sections with schema and lead with direct answers so AI engines can quote them.
- 5
Baseline your citations
Run a free AI visibility scan to see current AI mentions and citations for your Wix site.
