Wix Sitemap: Location, Structure and How to Submit It
Where is my Wix sitemap? At https://yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml. Wix creates it for every site and updates it automatically whenever you change the site. It is a sitemap index: a short file that points to one sitemap per type of page, such as blog posts or store products.
A site on a free plan uses an address like username.wixsite.com/sitename, so its sitemap sits under that address. To connect Google Search Console through Wix you need a Premium plan and a connected domain, which is why connecting a domain is usually the first real SEO step on Wix. When we checked wix.com on September 25, 2026, its sitemap was at /sitemap.xml and its robots.txt pointed to it.
How the Wix Sitemap Is Organized
Open /sitemap.xml and you will see links to secondary sitemaps rather than a list of pages. Wix groups them by page type:
- One sitemap per type, for example
store-products-sitemap.xmlfor products, plus sitemaps for blog posts, events and other apps you use. other-pages-sitemap.xmlfor pages that don’t fit a type.- On multilingual sites, separate sitemaps per language, named with the language and country, such as
de_de-pages-sitemap.xml.
Wix keeps the <lastmod> dates current on its own. Image details are included for main pages and for sections such as Stores, Events, Blog, Programs, Restaurants and Portfolio.
How to Keep a Page Out of Google (and Out of the Sitemap)
Open the page’s SEO basics settings and turn off Let search engines index this page. Search engines then won’t index it, and Wix leaves it out of the sitemap. Blog posts, products and other items have their own SEO settings with the same idea.
- Hiding a page from your menu is not enough. A page missing from navigation can still be indexed if its indexing setting is on.
- Password-protected and members-only pages are not crawled or indexed, so they stay out of search without extra steps.
- Thank-you and confirmation pages have no search value. Turn off indexing on them so they don’t take up space in the sitemap.
Dynamic Pages and Custom Canonicals
Pages generated from a collection (dynamic pages, products, blog posts) get their SEO settings from their page type, so you can set titles, descriptions and indexing for the whole type at once instead of one by one. Leave indexing off for collection items that are empty or only used for testing.
One detail from Wix’s own documentation: if you change a page’s default canonical tag, that page may drop out of the sitemap. That is correct behaviour when the canonical points to another page, but it surprises people who changed it by mistake. If a page is missing, check its canonical first.
How to Submit Your Wix Sitemap to Google
Automatic: connect Google Search Console through the Wix SEO Setup Checklist and Wix submits your sitemap for you. This needs a Premium plan and a connected domain.
Manual:
- Open Google Search Console and select your site (you must verify ownership first).
- Go to Sitemaps.
- Under "Add a new sitemap", enter
sitemap.xmland click Submit.
Submit only the index at /sitemap.xml; Google reads the secondary sitemaps from it.
Submitting to Bing
In Bing Webmaster Tools, open Sitemaps, choose Submit sitemap, enter the full URL (https://yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml) and click Submit. Bing also runs its own results and supplies several AI assistants, so this is worth doing even if most of your search traffic comes from Google.
Common Wix Sitemap Problems
A page is missing from the sitemap
Check three things: the page’s indexing setting, whether you changed its canonical tag, and whether the page is published. Wix updates the sitemap on its own after changes, so once the setting is right the page will appear.
Google shows the wixsite.com address
Connect your own domain, make it the primary domain, and use that domain in Search Console. Submitting the free wixsite.com address instead leads Google to the wrong version of the site.
The sitemap is full of pages you don’t want in Google
Apps such as bookings, stores and blogs add their own page types. Go through the page types in the sitemap index and turn off indexing for any type, or any item, that shouldn’t appear in search results.
Language versions look duplicated
On multilingual sites each language has its own sitemap. That is expected: they are separate pages for separate languages, not duplicates. See multilingual sitemaps for how search engines match language versions.
How to Check Your Sitemap
Open https://yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml, then open one or two of the secondary sitemaps it lists. For an outside check, the free sitemap finder reads your robots.txt, opens the sitemap index, and tests 30 of the listed URLs for 404s, redirects, noindex tags and canonical problems.
