Here's everything left on the website, in the order I'd do it, with exactly where to click and the words to paste. Every box has a Copy button so nothing gets typed wrong.
None of this is urgent enough to lose an evening over. Work down it whenever you have a few minutes, and send me a note when you want me to check it.
First — what you already did
You turned search engines back on, fixed the page titles, got the sitemap live and wrote the homepage description. That was the biggest item on my whole list and it cost nothing.
- Search engines can see all 7 pages (they couldn't this morning)
- Sitemap is live and listing 8 pages
- Page titles are no longer cut off mid‑word
- Homepage has a proper description
- Privacy Policy is out of the main menu
Google takes a couple of weeks to come around and index everything, so don't worry if searches look the same for a while.
What's left
Task 0 — 30 seconds, do this one first
Check whose name the account is actually in
There's a difference between having access to the site and owning it, and on Wix that difference decides a few things that matter.
If that says Matt or you, good — stop here, nothing else to do, and the rest of this list is all that's left.
If it's somebody else — whoever originally built the site — then three things are true that are worth knowing:
- Your messages are probably going to them. Wix sends form and chat alerts to the account owner's email by default. That would explain exactly what Matt has been describing.
- Billing, the plan and the domain stay with them. No collaborator role can touch those, however much access you otherwise have.
- Only they can hand it over. An ownership transfer has to be started by the current owner, and it can carry the plan, the domain and the mailboxes across. You accept it by email on your end.
None of that is urgent in the sense of today. It's just worth knowing who holds the keys to your own front door, and it's a 30-second look.
Task 1 — the important one
Make sure messages actually reach you
Matt mentioned messages going somewhere he couldn't get to. Both the contact form and the chat window drop into the Wix Inbox, and Wix sends those alerts to whichever email address set up the account — which isn't always the one you check. If Task 0 turned up somebody else's name, that is almost certainly where they have been going.
Add the email address you two actually read. If your plan offers a Send an SMS action, add Matt's cell too — a man who advertises 24/7 should get a buzz, not a dashboard notification.
How to know it worked: fill out your own contact form from a phone and see how long until something lands. That number is how long a real customer waits.
Task 2
Descriptions for the other six pages
The homepage has one now. These six don't, so Google writes its own summary of them. Each one is under the length where Google cuts it off.
Services
About
Contact
Consultation
Blog
Privacy Policy
Task 3
Four pages are missing their main heading
Services, About, Consultation and Privacy Policy have no “Heading 1” on them. That's the one line search engines read to understand what a page is about. Each page should have exactly one.
If the page doesn't have a heading at all, add a text box at the top and use these:
Task 4
Make it faster on a phone
The site takes about 7.5 seconds to load on a phone, down from 11.6 this morning. On a computer it's under 3, so this is a phone problem — and most people arriving from Facebook are on phones.
Two things cause most of it. The first is the big hero photo. I compressed your existing one from the site — same picture, same size on screen, a fraction of the weight:
Download the compressed hero photo (82 KB)
The second is the chat window that opens by itself. It loads extra code on every visit and covers part of the page. I'd switch it off unless somebody is actually watching it — an unanswered chat is worse than no chat.
Task 5 — small
Tidy the contact page address
The contact page currently lives at /contact-8, which is what's left over from a page being duplicated a few times. Wix will set up the redirect so no existing links break.
Task 6
Tell Google the site is there
Now that indexing is on, this speeds up how fast Google picks everything up — and it shows you what people actually typed to find you, which is worth more than anything I could guess at.
When you're done
Send me a text and I'll run the site through the same tools I used for the first report. It checks all of this automatically and tells me exactly what's still outstanding, so you don't have to keep track.
If you get stuck on any of it, or Wix has moved a menu around since I wrote this, call me and we'll do it together on the phone. Faster than me writing more instructions.
