Why Schema Markup Matters for Your Wix SEO
Search engines are intelligent, however, it does not necessarily mean that they are able to read your content as human beings. And there is schema markup (also called structured data). With the schema, you enable Google and Bing to understand your site (blog post, product, event, or local business listing) better. Schema markup is particularly useful to Wix site owners. It can: Boost click-through rates with rich snippets (ratings, FAQs, events). Enhace presence in Knowledge graph of Google. Help content qualify for voice search results. But now we will discuss step by step how you can add schema markup to your Wix site.
What Is Schema Markup?
Schema markup is a form of code ( JSON-LD type ) you can add to your web pages to provide search engines with a better understanding. For example: A recipe web site can specify schema such that Google will show cooking time, ratings, and calories. FAQ schema can be used to display expandable questions and answers in a blog directly in search results. Local Business schema can be used to show reviews, location, and opening hours at a business site
Step 1: Decide Which Schema You Need
All sites do not require all the types of schema. To make a recommendation, start with what fits your content: Article/Blog Schema → For blog posts. FAQ Schema → For Q&A sections. Product Schema → For eCommerce stores. Local Business Schema → For local service providers. Event Schema → For event promotions.
Step 2: Generate Schema Markup Code
Since Wix doesn’t provide built-in schema for everything, you’ll often need to generate your own JSON-LD code.
Tools to try:
Example: {
“@context”: “https://schema.org”,
“@type”: “FAQPage”,
“mainEntity”: [
{
“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “Does Wix support schema markup?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “Yes, you can add schema markup manually using custom code embeds or SEO settings.”
}
},
{
“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “Will schema improve my Wix SEO?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “Schema helps search engines better understand your content and can improve visibility in rich results.”
}
}
]
}
Step 3: Add Schema to Your Wix Website
There are two main ways
Option A: Add Schema Site-Wide
Go to Wix Dashboard SEO and Marketing. Open SEO Settings. Insert schema markup at Advanced SEO Page Code. Save and publish
Option B: Add Schema to Specific Pages
Navigate to the page in Wix Editor. Click Settings → SEO (Google). Scroll to Custom Code. Copy your JSON-LD schema between <script type=application/ld+json>
Step 4: Test Your Schema
Always test your code: Use Google Rich Results Test to check eligibility. Use Schema Validator to catch errors. In case of errors, you may correct formatting (lost commas, brackets, and so on).
Step 5: Monitor Performance
Appendix of schema is not set and forget. You’ll want to monitor: Google Search console – Enhancements report (monitors schema performance). Impressions & clicks from rich results. Changes in CTR (click-through rate). Schema markup does not improve rankings directly, but it makes your search results more noticeable, which would attract more clicks in many cases.

Stick to JSON-LD (Google’s preferred format).
Don’t stuff irrelevant schema—use only what matches your content.
Keep it updated (e.g., event dates, business hours).
