In short. Open the page in Wix Editor through Pages & Menu, More Actions and SEO basics, then review Preview on Google.
Definition: As of October 2026, Wix provides a search listing preview in a page's SEO panel under Preview on Google. It shows the page title, web address and descriptive text intended for a search result.
Key facts
- Wix's preview instructions place Preview on Google inside SEO basics in the Wix Editor.
- A title tag supplies a page's search title; a meta description summarizes its content. Wix's metadata instructions identify the fields for editing both.
- A URL slug is the final part of a page's web address. Wix's SEO panel guide includes a separate field for it.
- Google's snippet documentation explains that the description displayed in search can vary with the query.
Where is the preview in the editor?
Wix's preview guide gives this path for the Wix Editor:
Pages & Menu > More Actions > SEO basics > Preview on Google
The More Actions icon sits beside the relevant page in the page list. Selecting SEO basics opens the panel containing the preview.
For Studio Editor, Wix's SEO panel guide uses Pages as the starting control, followed by the page's More Actions icon and SEO Basics. This identifies the settings for an individual page.
Which fields change the listing information?
Wix's title and description guide names these editable fields:
Title tag (title in search results)
Meta description (description in search results)
The title describes the page in search results, while the description gives a summary beneath it. These metadata values appear in the page's code. After editing them, the documented Wix Editor workflow ends with Publish at the top right of the editor.
The SEO panel documentation also lists URL slug (last part of the page's URL). Wix advises changing that field only when necessary to reflect the page's content. Editing the title or description has its own fields in the same panel.
Why can Google's result differ from the preview?
Google's snippet guidance defines a snippet as the description or summary portion of a search result. Google primarily creates it from page content and sometimes uses the meta description when that provides a more accurate summary. Different searches can therefore produce different descriptions for the same page.
The same guidance says Google truncates snippets as needed, typically to fit the device width. The preview helps review the supplied text; Google's snippet selection determines the description shown for a particular search.

FAQ
Where do I preview a Wix Stores product listing?
Wix's product preview instructions start in Products in your site's dashboard. Select the product, click Edit SEO Settings in Marketing and SEO, then open Basics and look under Preview on Google.
Why is Google still showing my previous description?
Wix's metadata guide ties search engine updates to the next crawl of your site. Its workflow includes publishing your edits, so check that step before comparing the preview with a live result.
