Preventing Search Engines from Indexing Your Page

Lord Of The Wix · Oct 25, 2026

By default, search engines like Google crawl and index every page on your live Wix site. If you don't want a specific page to appear in search results, you can prevent search engines from indexing it in your editor.


From your site's dashboard, you can also choose to prevent search engines from indexing your entire site or use your site's SEO Settings to prevent search engines from indexing groups of pages.


Preventing search engines from indexing your entire site disables the options to prevent indexing groups of pages or individual pages. It also disables the option to prevent search engines from indexing those pages individually.


Important:


Password protected pages and private member pages don't show in search results, as they are not crawled and indexed. However, you'll need to manually prevent search engines from indexing public member pages such as Followers and Profile.
