Problems with Wix for hospitality
Why many hospitality businesses switch.
Poor SEO performance
Wix websites load slowly and have bloated code. Google prefers fast, clean websites - and you'll notice this in your rankings.
Slow load times
Wix loads many unnecessary scripts. Every extra second of load time costs you 7% conversion. Your guests click away before they see your menu.
Limited flexibility
You're bound to what Wix templates and apps offer. Specific hospitality features are often unavailable or don't work well.
No personal support
When problems arise, you're on your own with a generic helpdesk. No expert who knows your business and can help immediately.
Frequently asked questions
Is Wix really that bad for SEO?
Wix has made improvements in recent years, but fundamental limitations remain: slow load times due to bloated code, limited technical SEO options, and less control over important ranking factors. For local hospitality SEO, this is a significant disadvantage.
But Wix is much cheaper, right?
In the short term, yes. But calculate: €15-30/month for Wix + missed customers due to poor visibility + no ownership = more expensive in the long run. A custom website is an investment that pays for itself.
