Hey there Wix Code team!
I am trying to help a client of mine getting their Dynamic Pages shown and indexed correctly on Google. I was certain that the client did something wrong and the Wix Support team have told this client of mine different reasons for the last 4 months. Now this client is going back to WordPress to get the SEO and I just hate when people are talking about going back to WordPress for reasons like this.
So I started to investigate this and the last message from the Wix Support was that there must be some error in the code of the site. But there is no code to set the SEO of Dynamic Pages so this has to be a bug. I have sent emails directly to the team but was asked to post it here. So now I post it here and pray that someone on the teams will make this work faster than the sun sets today or I will loose a client to the competitor I try to outrun :) Or should I try to look at it deeper and see if the Wix General Support Team missed something?
Page Settings for the Dynamic Pages

I then run the info: usage on Google to check one item from the Dynamic Pages and get the below result.

That shows the site SEO settings and not the settings done for the Dynamic Page.

I then use View Source on the Dynamic Page to inspect what exactly is produced here from the Wix platform and here I get kind of certain this is a bug and that my client has gotten false and wrong information from the Wix Support for months and have spent a lot of time trying to understand what they did wrong instead of getting help running his business.
In the View Source it is obvious that the Wix Dynamic Page does not produce the SEO that they setup in the Page Settings on the Dynamic Pages.
It is also missing the page title element as I can't find that meta tag at all. No wonder Google redirects him stating that this is not a Google problem but a Wix problem.
------ NEW TESTING
So I went to one site of my own, wixshow.com and tested this on the Dynamic Pages Code Library that I have and here it seem to work?
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a27d24_e9bf0b885b3a487e89b1ebd9d8580dea~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_980,h_664,al_c,q_90,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/a27d24_e9bf0b885b3a487e89b1ebd9d8580dea~mv2.png)
Above I just changed the settings according to this test and published the site again and then when I reload that Dynamic Page and View Source I get the below.
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a27d24_7fb7253f08ba489093c088e365c15fc9~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_980,h_111,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/a27d24_7fb7253f08ba489093c088e365c15fc9~mv2.png)
All the meta tags are working as they should and gets indexed accordingly. So now my brain is not feeling good. Do we have some hidden error on one site that does not work but when I and others try this it works?
So lastly I thought that maybe there is something after all about the SEO setup of Dynamic Pages that just don't work inside the platform. So I decided to change the keyword field to another field instead of using the {Title} so I did and then it all worked???
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a27d24_12ca7e3c0d524822ab13d5dbf270f4a3~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_802,h_558,al_c,q_90,enc_auto/a27d24_12ca7e3c0d524822ab13d5dbf270f4a3~mv2.png)
So it seem that Wix Dynamic Pages does not allow us to use the {Title} value in the Keywords fields under SEO for Dynamic Pages. So I thought that this can't be true, because if that is the case Wix platform should not allow users to use that field in that property.
So I changed the keywords to {Title} on wixshow.com and published the site and then it did break exactly as the client site have been for around 4-5 months.
I think it is extremely good that I could solve this for my client in 4 hours of detective work. I do think that the support he got from the general Wix Support own this client the largest apologie and probably a 2-year free premium whatever package he wants. His business has not been indexed and has lost traffic for more than 4 months and the Wix Support has sent him all kinds of strange answers and ways to get rid of this issue. Then I look at it, finds the error and solves it after 4 hours of work? Something needs to be replaced on first line support regarding Wix Code, this is not ok.
So solution: DO NOT USER {Title} in the Keywords Property Field on Dynamic Pages in Wix Code, it will break and destroy your SEO Meta Tags.

Hi @Stephen
I took this issue with our SEO experts and we did some analysis.
Two pages were tested: one displaying the schema in search results https://www.scottishrockandwater.com/courses/Winter-Skills/Winter-Skills-2-day
and another one from the same router, which doesn't display the schema yet https://www.scottishrockandwater.com/courses/Winter-Climbing/Winter-Climbing-Intro
Google's structured data testing tool showed that both pages has appropriate data structure:
Winter-Climbing-Intro page results
Winter-Skills-2-day page results
You can see that both pages contain 12 schemas of Event type and neither shows errors or warnings.
There is another Google's tool, which tests rich results compatibility and can even visualize the schema you've created on both pages. It also displays that both pages are rich results compatible:
Winter-Climbing-Intro page results
Winter-Skills-2-day page results
So, it seems like the schema was built properly for these pages.
One possible explanation why it is not displayed could be that the SEO data is not aligned with Google's guidelines.
I'd suggest to check with their policy and see if something is not on the right place.
There is one more test we can do - verify the Google Search Console results for your page and see if there are any errors/warnings there. Please let know if you need information about how to share access to Search Console with our tech account wixpromote@wix.com

@Aleksander Denga, any more details as yet?
Average Ratings for dynamic category page, there are 11 courses in this database ad the code works as intended.
Dates on item dynamic page, the code works for around 25% of 76 items, it should also display ratings
I have pretty much always had these warnings
And more recently these warnings after an update when I logged into the editor t improve user experience
Thanks for the help, this is the most anyone has shown any interest :) Have a great day!
@givemeawhisky Thank you for bringing in all this information.
@Stephen, I'll check if this note about dynamic pages is still relevant and come back to you
Hey @ANDREAS KVIBY are you still available to look at something for me? I have another issue that Wix won't accept anything is wrong after two Wix professionals checking the code? Or can @Aleksander Denga help?
Hi. Wanted to give you a short update.
This week there were a couple of changes made to improve the situation.
Still, we are trying to found better solution, which might take some time.
Once again, sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.
Regards, Aleksander
Update: we wasn't able to reproduce the issue on wixshow.com site. Waiting for shared access to Google Search Console for site in the initial message.
@Andreas Kviby please let me know if you manage to provide wixpromote@wix.com with viewing permissions to the site. Thank you.
Hi @Andreas Kviby
A small update about this issue.
We would like to further investigate. Please provide wixpromote@wix.com with viewing permissions to your Google Search Console. Please see here how to do it: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/2453966?hl=en
Once access has been granted, please respond to this message and let us know.
Regards, Aleksander
Hi @Andreas, thank you for helping me solve this long term issue.
I have been in touch with the support team who once again, seem not to be accepting that the issue isn't as serious as I tried to outline in my official complaint. I was offered 50% off my next subscription. Whilst writing the email, I filtered through all of my previous emails and it turns out it was 7 months ago I first noticed an issue and raised this with Wix. I expect this has been longer, expecting that it has been since I first started using Wix code.
Thank you once again and to all the team on here for all of your help.
Best wishes
Stephen
Hi Andreas.
Sorry to hear about that embarrassing issue you and your client had to face with.
We appreciate your very detailed explanation of the matter and the time you spent on investigation - this really helped us to identify the root cause of the problem much quicker.
I've made some additional checks today with our SEO Wix experts and we registered a bug.
Will keep you updated about the status.
Regards, Aleksander from Wix Code team
Have had the same problem. Working on it now, thanks.
