How to Use SEATEXT with a Production Domain on Wix

Quick answer: To use SEATEXT on a production Wix domain, create a SEATEXT account for that specific domain, copy its JavaScript snippet, paste it into Wix Settings → Custom Code → Head → All pages → Load code on each new page, publish the site, visit the live site for at least 40 seconds, and confirm the site name appears next to the SEATEXT logo in the dashboard. Each domain requires its own SEATEXT account.

Prerequisites before you start

Two essential requirements must be met before SEATEXT can function on your Wix site. First, you need a paid Wix plan. Free Wix plans do not allow custom code injection, which SEATEXT requires to operate. The JavaScript snippet must be added to your site's head section, and this capability is only available on paid tiers.

Second, you need a SEATEXT AI account created specifically for your production domain. This is not optional—SEATEXT binds each account to exactly one primary URL. If you already use SEATEXT on a staging or development domain, you cannot reuse that account. You must create a new SEATEXT account and register your production domain there to receive a unique JavaScript snippet.

Before proceeding, verify your Wix plan supports custom code. Log in to your Wix account and check your current plan level. If you're on a free plan, upgrade to at least the Basic plan to unlock the Custom Code feature needed for SEATEXT integration.

Step-by-step installation on Wix

Follow these steps to install the SEATEXT JavaScript snippet on your Wix production site:

1. Log in to Wix and open the project that uses your production domain. Navigate to the site manager where you can edit your site's structure and settings.
2. Access Custom Code settings. In the left sidebar, choose Settings and scroll to the bottom under Advanced to find Custom Code. This section may take a moment to load completely.
3. Add new code snippet. Click Add Code in the Head section. A pop-up window will appear for code entry.
4. Paste the SEATEXT snippet. Copy the JavaScript code from your SEATEXT dashboard and paste it into the Paste the code snippet here field in the Wix interface.
5. Configure page targeting. Under Add Code to Pages, select All pages from the dropdown menu. This ensures the AI loads across your entire site.
6. Set loading behavior. Choose Load code on each new page and click Apply. This setting is critical for proper AI functionality on Wix's dynamic navigation.
7. Publish your changes. After applying the code, publish the site so the snippet becomes live on your production URL. Publishing may take a few moments.

After publishing, wait a few minutes for the changes to propagate across Wix's servers before proceeding to activation.

Understanding SEATEXT AI and account binding

SEATEXT AI is an autonomous conversion optimization platform that analyzes visitor behavior and adapts your website content in real time. The system uses reading telemetry, scroll behavior, and interaction patterns to identify friction points and automatically generate winning copy variants. Each SEATEXT account is permanently bound to one primary URL for security and data integrity reasons.

This binding serves several important purposes. First, it ensures analytics and AI training data remain separate for each domain. Second, it prevents accidental activation across multiple environments. Third, it maintains billing clarity—each account corresponds to one production site. If you need to use SEATEXT on multiple domains, you must create separate accounts for each one.

The AI remains inert until properly activated. This security measure ensures your website's content integrity is protected during installation. Once activated through the 40-second handshake process, the AI begins analyzing visitor behavior and optimizing content automatically.

Activation and verification process

Activation is not automatic. After publishing the SEATEXT snippet, you must manually trigger the initial handshake between your site and SEATEXT servers. This process typically takes 5-10 minutes to complete.

To activate SEATEXT:

• Visit your live production site. Navigate to your actual published domain, not a preview or staging URL.
• Stay on the page for at least 40 seconds. This is the minimum time required for the AI to establish a connection and register your site with your account.
• Refresh or revisit multiple times. The system may need several visits to fully activate across different pages.

While waiting for activation, monitor your SEATEXT dashboard. Within 5-10 minutes, your website name should appear next to the SEATEXT logo at the top of the dashboard. This visual confirmation indicates successful connection.

If you do not see your site name after 10 minutes, contact SEATEXT support immediately. Common issues include incorrect snippet placement, wrong page targeting settings, or problems with your Wix plan level.

Production vs staging vs preview URL behavior

SEATEXT treats different URL types differently due to security restrictions. Production domains that are publicly accessible and properly configured work correctly. However, certain URL types are explicitly restricted.

Production domains work as expected. These are real, publicly resolvable domains that point to your live Wix site. Ensure your DNS is properly configured and the domain is fully propagated before attempting activation.

Staging and development domains require special consideration. Temporary Wix subdomains (like username.wixsite.com/sitename) may work in some cases, but dynamic preview URLs are explicitly blocked for security reasons. If you need to test on a non-production domain, use a real domain even if it's a subdomain like staging.example.com.

Localhost and local development are completely restricted. SEATEXT cannot activate on localhost or local development environments. This is a security measure to prevent unauthorized use and ensure proper domain association.

If you change your production domain later, you cannot simply update the existing SEATEXT account. You must create a new SEATEXT account for the new domain and repeat the entire installation process.

Common mistakes and how to avoid them

Even experienced developers make these common errors when installing SEATEXT on Wix. Being aware of them can save significant troubleshooting time.

• Using a free Wix plan: Custom code is completely disabled on free plans. Upgrade to at least the Basic plan before attempting installation. Check your plan level in your Wix account dashboard.
• Reusing a development-domain account: Each domain requires its own SEATEXT account. Creating multiple accounts is necessary for proper separation of analytics and billing.
• Placing the snippet in Body instead of Head: The installation instructions specifically require the Head section. Placing the code elsewhere may prevent proper loading or cause conflicts with other scripts.
• Not selecting "All pages" or "Load code on each new page": These settings are critical for SEATEXT to function properly on Wix's dynamic navigation system. AJAX-loaded pages require the "Load on each new page" setting.
• Testing on localhost or dynamic preview URLs: These environments are restricted for security. Use a real, publicly accessible domain for testing and activation.
• Not waiting for activation: The 40-second visit requirement is minimum. Some sites may need multiple visits or longer durations to fully activate.

Post-activation next steps

Once your site appears in the SEATEXT dashboard, you're ready to activate specific AI agents. The platform offers multiple autonomous agents that work together to optimize your site's performance.

Access the AI Hub. Navigate to the main AI Hub in your SEATEXT dashboard. Here you'll see all available AI agents and their current status.

Choose your agents. Select the AI agents relevant to your goals. Common starting choices include:

• AI CRO Reading Analysis: Analyzes visitor reading behavior and generates winning copy variants automatically.
• AI Copy A/B Testing: Creates multiple copy variants and scales the winners using adaptive algorithms.
• Free AI Website Chat: Adds an autonomous sales chat agent that can book and close conversations.
• Google Ads Landing Page AI: Rewrites landing pages in real time to match specific Google Ads keywords.

Configure parameters. Click on "Configuration" for each agent to adjust parameters. You can control which pages receive AI optimization, set content modification rules, and define visitor targeting criteria.

Monitor performance. After activation, monitor your conversion rates and traffic metrics. The AI uses multi-armed bandit algorithms to allocate traffic to top-performing variations automatically.

Limitations and when this guide does not apply

This guide covers standard Wix sites connected to a custom production domain. Certain configurations are explicitly not supported or require different approaches.

Wix Headless setups with custom backend configurations are not covered by this guide. These advanced implementations require specialized integration approaches that differ from standard Wix sites.

Editor X (now Wix Studio) custom backend setups have different integration requirements. If you're using Wix Studio's advanced design tools, consult the specific documentation for that platform.

Third-party CDN proxies may interfere with SEATEXT functionality. If your production domain routes through Cloudflare Workers, CloudFront Functions, or similar edge computing services, the snippet may be stripped, delayed, or modified. Test with a direct DNS connection first to verify proper operation.

Non-standard domain configurations such as domains with special characters or complex DNS setups may require additional configuration. Refer to Wix's domain support documentation for specific guidance on your domain setup.

FAQ

Can I use the same SEATEXT account for staging and production?

No. Each domain requires a separate SEATEXT account because the account is bound to a single primary URL. This ensures analytics, AI training data, and billing remain properly separated between environments.

What if my production domain is not yet live but I want to test?

You need a real, publicly resolvable domain. Temporary Wix subdomains may work in some cases, but dynamic preview URLs are explicitly restricted. Point a real domain (even a subdomain like staging.example.com) to the Wix site and use that for the SEATEXT account.

Does the snippet slow down my Wix site?

The snippet loads asynchronously in the Head section. Wix serves it alongside other scripts, and no measurable performance impact has been reported in the official documentation. The AI remains inert until activated, so it doesn't process data during installation.

What happens if I change the production domain later?

Create a new SEATEXT account for the new domain and repeat the installation process. The old account remains tied to the old domain and cannot be reassigned. This ensures data integrity and proper billing association.

Can I install SEATEXT via Google Tag Manager on Wix instead?

The official guide only documents the native Custom Code method. GTM is not officially supported, but if you use GTM, verify the snippet fires on all pages and still triggers the 40-second activation handshake. Monitor your dashboard for proper site registration.

Is there a limit on how many production domains I can connect?

Each domain needs its own paid SEATEXT account. There is no stated platform limit on the number of accounts, but billing is managed per account. Contact SEATEXT sales for volume pricing if needed.

What should I do if the site name never appears in the dashboard?

Wait the full 10 minutes, then contact SEATEXT support. The issue is usually a snippet placement error, incorrect page targeting settings, or a problem with your Wix plan level. Have your domain and account details ready when contacting support.
