#Wix-Specific Considerations

#Handling Wix's Ajax Navigation

Some Wix sites use Ajax-based page loading. If your store locator doesn't appear when navigating from another page:

Solution 1: Link directly to the store locator page (external link)

Solution 2: Contact StoreRocket support for Wix-specific guidance

#Wix Mobile Optimization

Wix handles mobile differently than desktop. Ensure:

1. The HTML embed is set to "Stretch" on mobile
2. Height is appropriate for mobile screens (400-500px)
3. Test on actual mobile devices
4. Verify GPS location works

#Wix SEO Settings

For the page containing your store locator:

1. Go to Page Settings > SEO
2. Set a descriptive title: "Find a Store Near You | [Your Brand]"
3. Write a meta description including "store locator" and your locations
4. Set a clean URL slug: /store-locator or /locations
