Google Search Console sitemap not indexing my Wix site pages – anyone experienced this?

Hi everyone,
My website is built on Wix, and I submitted the sitemap.xml to Google Search Console quite a while ago again (4 days), but it still shows as “Discovered – currently not indexed” or “No pages indexed.”

I also tried the URL Inspection tool, and it shows the index status for all my pages as “Excluded.”

I’ve checked the following:

  • Sitemap is successfully submitted and can be opened without issues

  • Each page has proper SEO titles and meta descriptions

  • Site is published and publicly accessible

Has anyone else run into this issue on Wix?
Do I need to adjust any specific settings, or is it just a matter of waiting for Google to crawl the site?
Would appreciate any tips or experiences you can share!

Hi, @HuiYu_Ruan

This happens quite a lot with new Wix sites, so you’re not alone. As long as your sitemap is submitted and your site is published, it may take Google a bit of time to start indexing your pages.

A few things that can help are ensuring each page is set to be indexed in the Wix SEO settings, adding links between your pages to make them easily discoverable by Google, and utilising the “Request Indexing” option in Google Search Console for important pages.

Also, check the coverage report in Search Console to see if there are any crawl issues. Sharing your site on social media or getting a few links from other sites can sometimes speed things up, too. If everything looks fine, it’s often just a matter of waiting a bit longer for Google to pick them up.
