Expert Answer

In order for your website to appear on Google searches and all other search engines, you have to register your website on the Google search console and prove that you own the website. Then, create a sitemap for your website. It's like a map that shows Google all the pages on your website. Make sure it's in the XML format and upload it to your website. Finally, submit the sitemap's URL to Google Search Console. Usually, within a couple of weeks, Google will start indexing your website, which means it will add your pages to its search results. This can sometimes take a bit longer, but submitting a sitemap is a good way to speed things up.

Question

How do I edit a Wix website with multiple accounts?

Community Answer

Go to your settings and choose to transfer the site. Make sure you choose to still have a copy of the site, so both accounts can have it.

Question

How do I get a domain?

Community Answer

You need to upgrade to a premium plan to connect a domain. Once you buy a premium plan, you will see two buttons: one to purchase a domain, and one to connect a domain if you already have one (e.g., bought from GoDaddy).

How do I add photos to a webpage using Wix?

To add a photo, press the + button on the side of the editor and press PHOTO on the menu. Wix has tons of pre-downloaded images but you can also upload images.

As long as you do not buy a domain name, it will always open with a wix url.
