How to fix missing schema howto on Wix

Steps for Wix

1. Open the Wix Editor and navigate to the specific page that contains how-to content.
2. Click the page Settings (gear icon next to the page name in the Pages panel) > Advanced > Custom Code (or go to Settings > Custom Code in the main dashboard).
3. Click '+ Add Custom Code', paste your complete JSON-LD HowTo block, set it to load in the <head>, choose 'Load code once' or 'Load code on each new page', scope it to 'Specific pages' and select only this page.
4. Publish the site and validate with Google's Rich Results Test.

What is missing schema howto?

HowTo structured data is a special block of machine-readable code — written in a format called JSON-LD — that you add to a page to tell Google "this page contains step-by-step instructions." It explicitly labels each step, tool, supply, and time estimate so search engines understand the content precisely. When Google recognises it, your page becomes eligible for rich results: visually expanded listings in search that show the actual steps directly below your link, before a user even clicks. Without this markup, Google has to guess whether your page is a how-to, and you lose the chance for that premium search placement.

Pages with HowTo rich results occupy significantly more visual real estate in search results — often showing 3–5 collapsible steps right on the results page — which dramatically increases click-through rates compared to a plain blue link. This is especially valuable for "Answer Engine Optimization" (AEO): AI-powered search features (Google AI Overviews, voice search, featured snippets) pull structured, step-based content preferentially when deciding what to surface. Missing this markup means a competitor who has it will own that SERP space, capturing organic traffic that should be yours. For ecommerce stores, how-to content (how to assemble, how to use, how to style a product) directly supports purchase decisions and reduces returns — both of which have measurable revenue impact.
