Hi, I need some direction with adding schema markup to my wix website. I’ve read up on the internet about the uses of schema and benefits it can provide and have implemented some code but unsure if its wix friendly.

Let me give you some background information first so you can best help me. These are the steps I have made.

  1. Firstly I have added a customised meta tag on my home page in the section called page setting, advanced seo. I did this 5 years ago. I added my keywords of my services and location. I don’t know if its still relevant and might update again.

  2. After some more reading this code is quite limited and you can use Tracking & Analytics Tools to add external code that isn’t supported as a custom meta tag. So I found an online schema markup generator and put in all my business information (I’ve added the code at the end of this post). I then checked this code with the Google Structured Data Testing Tool which showed up nicely with no errors.

3. I then went ahead and added this schema markup on my home page
via tracking tools & analytics page .
4. I tried to contact wix suport to make sure this is wix friendly and got a response
saying.

Super easy. Jump inside the Wix Editor, click Settings > Tracking & Analytics, that takes you to the Tracking Tools page, hit + New Tool button and select </> Custom and paste your code snippet.

Select the right domain and give the schema a name so you can identify it later. You can choose to load on all pages or just specific pages. Make sure it’s being posted in the Header. Once that’s set up, publish your site. If you like you can give your site a test in the Google Structured Data Testing Tool to make sure the schema is working.

And that’s it - you’re good to go.
