Is Wordpress better than Wix for SEO?
Wix vs Wordpress for SEO
I recently had this question from a potential new client about whether Is Wordpress better than Wix for SEO: Hello, I have been advised by multiple vendors that I should switch my Wix site to WordPress. I am wondering if you can offer an opinion on that. I am interested in SEO services if Wix is a viable website platform, or I may scrap the existing website and rebuild on WordPress. Thank you!
ANSWER:
I believe that Wix can do just as well as Wordpress for SEO. Here are several blog posts I written over time on why Wix is just as good as Wordpress for SEO:
SEO is all about optimizing your site and putting up a lot of fresh well-written optimized content over time. Google and other search engines don’t really care what platform it is on as long as the content is good and new content is added regularly, and the pages are optimized for the terms to search for.
That said, depending on what you want your website to be found for, it takes a lot of ongoing good content generation and optimization on a weekly/daily/monthly basis and can take months to years to compete with highly searched terms so that your website can rise to the first page of the search results, no matter what platform you are on.
In conclusion, Is Wix good for SEO? Yes.
Don't worry about your platform, focus on writing and generating good content with unique images with the search terms you want to be found for. Wix is just as good at SEO as any other platform, including Wordpress and Squarespace.
The key is GOOD OPTIMIZED CONTENT that is added often. Don't copy text from other websites, write your own – be authentic, detailed, and knowledgeable about your content. Answer commonly asked questions, explain your services in detail, talk about your location if it matters, tell stories, post real photos and videos that nobody else has... basically be the expert in what you want to be found for. And keep it fresh!
