How Do I Delete a Wix Site From Google?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 4:00 am

There are a few reasons you might want to delete your Wix site from Google. Maybe you created a website for a temporary event and now it’s no longer needed.

Or maybe you’re redesigning your site and don’t want Google to keep indexing the old version. Whatever the reason, here’s how to delete your Wix site from Google.

GREAT NEWS:

Exciting update! We've collaborated with Wix to offer WBI users with a free plan for all website creation needs - Explore the details here.

The first step is to log into your Wix account and click on the “Manage Site” button. This will take you to the dashboard for your site.

Next, click on the “Settings” tab. In the settings menu, there is an option to “Remove Site from Search Engines.” Click this option and then confirm that you want to remove your site from Google.

PRO TIP: If you are considering deleting your Wix website from Google, be aware that this will also delete all of your site’s data and content. This cannot be undone, so be absolutely sure that you want to permanently remove your site before proceeding.

Once you’ve removed your site from Google, it can take up to two weeks for it to be completely removed from the search engine. However, if you’ve made changes to your site that you don’t want Google to index, you can use the “noindex” tag. This tag tells Google not to index a particular page on your site.

You can add the noindex tag to any page on your Wix site by going to the “Edit Page” menu and selecting “Advanced Settings.” In the advanced settings menu, there is an option to add custom tags. Enter “noindex” in the custom tags box and then save your changes.

The noindex tag is a good way to keep Google from indexing pages that are under construction or that you don’t want people to find. However, it’s important to remember that once you add the noindex tag to a page, that page will no longer show up in search results. So if you do want people to find that page, make sure to remove the noindex tag before you publish your site.

In conclusion, deleting your Wix site from Google is a simple process. Just log into your account, go to the settings menu, and click on the “Remove Site from Search Engines” option. You can also use the noindex tag to prevent specific pages from being indexed by Google.
