In short. Edit the page's title tag and meta description in SEO basics, then click Publish and review Preview on Google.
Definition: A title tag supplies a page's title for search results, while a meta description summarizes its content. As of October 2026, Wix documents editing both fields in the page's SEO basics panel and publishing the changes from the editor.
Key facts
- Wix's title and description instructions identify separate fields for the title tag and meta description, followed by Publish.
- Wix's SEO panel documentation uses Pages & Menu in Wix Editor and Pages in Studio Editor.
- Wix's preview instructions place the search listing preview under Preview on Google.
- As of October 2026, Google's snippet guidance describes using page content or the meta description to create the summary displayed in a search result.
Where are the title and description fields?
Wix's SEO panel guide gives this route in Wix Editor:
Pages & Menu > More Actions beside the relevant page > SEO basics
The editable fields are Title tag (title in search results) and Meta description (description in search results). Wix's title and description instructions finish with Publish at the editor's top right.
For Studio Editor, the same panel guide starts with Pages, followed by the page's More Actions menu and SEO Basics. It describes the title field as a summary of the page's content and the description field as a short explanation that helps people assess relevance.
What should the fields contain?
Wix's title tag guidance recommends a clear, concise title and a unique title tag for each page. It also recommends a unique meta description that summarizes the page before a visitor opens it.
Google's description guidance recommends accurate descriptions specific to individual pages. It suggests site-level descriptions for a homepage or other aggregation page and page-level descriptions elsewhere. Google sets no fixed meta description length; the displayed snippet is shortened as needed, typically to fit the device width.
How can the listing be checked?
Wix's preview guide directs the check to Preview on Google within SEO basics. For an individual Wix Stores product, the documented route starts in the dashboard's Products area, then Edit SEO Settings under Marketing and SEO, followed by Basics and the preview.
Google's snippet documentation explains that summaries can differ between searches because they emphasize content relevant to the query. The Wix preview therefore serves as a review of the configured listing; Google's displayed summary can vary.

FAQ
Do I need to edit HTML?
You can enter both values directly in SEO basics, following Wix's page editing instructions.
Why is the old description still visible on Google?
Wix's preview documentation states that SEO setting changes take time to appear on Google. You can also see a different summary because Google selects snippets for the specific search, as its snippet documentation explains.
