Wix Websites - Allowing Indexing of PDFs

  • 1 day ago

I just learned this – uploaded pdfs are not indexed automatically on Wix websites!


To activate indexing on a PDF, the only way I've found is to link to a PDF from a button, image or text link in the classic Wix editor. See this link in the screenshot below, it says: "Show this PDF in search results" link in the link editor box.


PDFs, after linking to,
need to have this option
clicked in order to show
up in search engines!

I'm not sure if there is any other way to do this without adding a button or other link to it in the main page editor (a text/image/button link in the classic editor). This option doesn't appear when adding PDF links to a blog post, for example. I wonder if this setting isavailable elsewhere like in the Media Manager, I didn't see it as an option.
