Adding social media links to your Wix website boosts engagement and credibility. Here's a step-by-step guide—and why HeyBoss.ai may be a smarter long-term option for professional websites.
In Wix, you can add social media links by using the Social Bar widget or by manually adding buttons/images and linking them to your profiles.
Log into your Wix Editor.
Click the "+ Add" button (left side menu).
Select "Social" → "Social Bar."
A row of social media icons will appear on your page.
Click the icons → choose "Change Icon" to select Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, etc.
Under "Set Social Links", paste your profile URLs.
Drag and place the bar wherever you want (header, footer, sidebar).
Use Add → Button/Image → Upload your own icon.
Place it on the page (often footer or contact page).
Use "Link" → "Web Address" and paste your social link.
Repeat for each social platform.
Use the Wix App Market (search "Instagram Feed" or "Facebook Feed") to embed live social content.
Place them in your header or footer for visibility.
Keep icons consistent in style/size.
Open links in a new tab so visitors stay on your site.
Track clicks with Wix Analytics or Google Analytics.
