12 most powerful online marketing tools by Wix
01. Email marketing
Wix’s email marketing tool makes it easy to stay in touch with your customers. From ready-made templates to fully customizable options, you can decide how much effort and personal style you want to put into your messages. You can even use Wix’s built-in AI functionality to generate a completely custom layout and unique content based on the intent of your campaign and inputs about your business.
On top of all of that, you can easily set up time-saving automations (such as automated “welcome” emails or reminders) and personalized sections, plus access advanced analytics to track your campaign’s performance.
02. Social media marketing
When it comes to growing your brand, social media is non-negotiable. This type of marketing requires showing up regularly, posting content that your target audience actually cares about and staying consistent. Wix simplifies things by letting you manage all of your channels from one spot.
From the “Social Media Marketing” tab in your dashboard, you can create, customize, publish and schedule posts across various social channels.
Need some help coming up with content? Wix’s AI tool can create three caption options for Instagram, Facebook, X (Twitter), LinkedIn and YouTube based on your prompts. The tool can also add relevant hashtags and emojis, including the most popular trending hashtags for the subject. You can additionally ask AI for help creating custom graphics.

03. Paid ads
Advertising is a key way to grow your business—but managing it all can get messy. Thankfully, you can create, manage and customize ads right from your Wix dashboard.
Wix even offers AI-powered tools for designing and targeting paid ads for Facebook, Instagram and Google. You can tap AI for help reaching the right audience and writing copy that resonates with them. Or, conduct ongoing A/B testing, track sales and more. Wix links your Google campaign to your website and shows how well your ads convert visitors into customers.
04. Google Business Profile integration
When you start a business, a Google Business Profile helps ensure that you’re found through Google search and Google Maps. It’s a valuable way to bring in local traffic, present potential customers with all of your business info at a glance and ensure that people have an easy way to get in touch with you. You can create and manage your Google Business Profile from your Wix site dashboard. If you already have an account, you can link and verify an existing profile.
From the “Google Business Profile” option under the “Marketing & SEO” tab in your site editor, you can either verify an existing Business Profile or create a new one. After that, you can manage the listing by editing your profile info, marking your business as permanently closed or deleting your business altogether.
05. Google Workspace integration
Marketing your business isn’t just about having great ads or content. It’s about making every customer interaction smooth and professional. With Wix’s Google Workspace integration, you can sync a professional Google email with your Wix website and forms—plus ensure a consistent experience across any emails, docs or presentations you share.
To get started, purchase a Google Workspace business email from your Wix dashboard. Google Workspace has its own pricing. However, as a Wix user, you can access all of your subscriptions in one place and receive Wix-level support.
From Wix, design emails, forms, blogs and other content that represent your brand. Meanwhile, you can use your favorite Google Workspace tools to collaborate with clients or potential customers on the go. As noted by Meghan Kennedy, founder of lucid ladybug (sustainable styling and coordinating services), who attended a recent Wix x Google workshop:
"As a sustainable stylist, I work to individualize and customize every client experience and event. I trust Google Workspace to help streamline all communication and utilize email, Google Sheets, Google Docs—and now, Google Gemini and NotebookLM. Having a shared workspace allows me to run notes between clients, eliminating excess back-and-forth and relieving my bandwidth as a solopreneur."
A Google Workspace email also gives you access to AI tools like Gemini and NotebookLM. Get a smart assistant to help analyze your data, brainstorm ideas and organize your business. Or, as Meghan recommends, work with Gemini and NotebookLM to dream up the next stages of your business.
06. SEO features
When you build a website, SEO needs to be part of the plan. That means using the right keywords in your titles, descriptions and your image alt text (among other tasks) to help people find you online. Wix takes some of the guesswork out of it with smart SEO tools.
Wix’s SEO Setup Checklist, for example, gives actionable advice on how to verify your website with Google, get your site indexed quickly and improve your overall search rankings. SEO Assistant, on the other hand, will help you optimize your website content across multiple pages, including bookings page, product pages and blog posts. The tool will flag critical errors that could affect (or prevent) your site’s rankings in search. Both tools integrate with Semrush, a leading content research and SEO tool.
On top of all this, you’ve got Wix's AI meta tag creator (which will help you write SEO-friendly title tags and meta descriptions for each of your web pages), custom site SEO settings and SEO reports.
07. CRM software
When you’re running a small business, every customer counts. Wix’s free CRM software helps you stay on top of conversations and track important tasks. More specifically, it helps you to:
Capture leads: Use Wix’s form builder to collect details, get feedback, take payments and follow up with customers. Pair this with Wix Chat, which allows you to connect with your customers in real time from the moment that they enter your website. Or, install AI Site Chat, which automatically provides answers based on your site data and helps site visitors find what they need.
Automate your marketing workflows: Spend less time on repetitive tasks and more time on strategic marketing initiatives. The CRM's marketing automation capabilities allow you to create personalized workflows that automatically trigger actions based on specific customer behaviors or milestones. From sending welcome emails to following up with abandoned carts, you can effortlessly nurture your leads and guide them through the customer journey.
Collect and manage payments: Wix CRM makes it easier to get paid on time. With built-in price quote and invoice tools, you can manage and track your transactions from one place. You can propose and negotiate prices, automatically convert approved quotes into invoices and keep tabs on the payment due date.
08. Blogging platform
Blogging’s not just good for SEO—it’s a great way to share what you know and promote your website for free.
The trouble is that blogging can be time-consuming. Fortunately, Wix's AI blogging tools can turn rough ideas into polished articles. You can ask the AI to outline, edit and write an entire blog according to your brand voice and goals. You can even generate custom images to jazz up your content.
When it comes to your actual blog site, Wix offers a wide range of blog templates to choose from. Manage posts from your desktop editor—or if you’re on the go, create and upload posts through the Wix App.
After you’ve created your blog, you can start building up a community of followers. Through the “Member’s Area” (a feature that allows users to sign up to your site and receive access to exclusive offers), visitors can create public profile pages and interact with each other. There are multiple other features available too, such as social promotion capabilities, searchable hashtags, the ability to manage multiple writers, integration for email subscriptions, monetization options and more.

09. Image creator
Marketing is as much a visual art as it is a written one. But in the past, you were limited by the size and skill of your design team. While there's no replacement for a skilled human artist, Wix's image editing and creation tools are a godsend for small teams with limited resources.
Powered by AI, these tools can help you create custom images in seconds. Create images for your blogs, social media posts, website, emails and more. You can tell the AI to experiment with different formats (for example, you can ask it to create an illustration as opposed to a photorealistic image).
If you already have photos or graphics that you want to use but simply need to tidy them up, you can enhance your photo, add filters and more from the Wix Photo Studio.
10. Online store coupons
Here’s an obvious statement: everyone loves a good deal. If you want your business on the radar of bargain hunters, it’s a smart idea to turn to a coupon maker for assistance. On top of bringing shoppers to your website, a discount will keep them coming back for more.
From your online store dashboard, you can set up sales and discounts such as certain dollar amounts off, certain percentages off, free shipping, BOGO deals and more. You can also create your own coupon codes in bulk.

11. Video maker
Adding videos to your business website or online portfolio can be an engaging way to show off your work and stand out from the crowd. You might think that creating videos requires time, effort and specific skills. But actually, if you can spare a few minutes, it’s possible to upload the content you want to include into one nifty tool and let it take care of the entire creation process for you. That’s exactly what Wix’s free video maker tool is all about.
The video maker can be used to create promotional videos, product demos, social posts and more. If you don’t have much in-house content to work with, utilize the free visuals, templates and sounds already obtainable within the product. In less than a minute or so, your video will be generated and ready to upload to your website, social platforms and YouTube or be saved for later.
12. Analytics
You can’t improve what you don’t track, and that’s especially true when it comes to marketing.
Wix Analytics offers insight into your website performance, sales performance and more. There are multiple reports to choose from, including a Benchmarks report that lets you compare your site performance against other sites like yours. You've even got a Highlights report, which offers live stats and an AI assistant that helps retrieve the data you need.
"The analytics, the automations, the loyalty program…I’ve been using it all. These are amazing features.” - Jessie Knadler, founder of Speakeasy Pilates
Apart from these built-in reports, Wix integrates with popular platforms and tools like Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel, among many others.
