Host app-ads.txt at your root domain
Wix does not allow you to serve arbitrary files at the root domain. You must host the file externally and configure a URL redirect in Wix.
Upload your app-ads.txt file to an external host. GitHub Pages is the most common option: create a public repository, add app-ads.txt, enable GitHub Pages, and note the raw file URL.
In the Wix dashboard, go to SEO Tools > URL Redirects. Add a new redirect:
Old URL: /app-ads.txt New URL: https://username.github.io/reponame/app-ads.txt Type: 301
Verify by opening https://yourdomain.com/app-ads.txt in a browser. The redirect should resolve to the raw file contents.
Note: Wix has no native support for hosting arbitrary root-domain files. If the redirect destination is on GitHub Pages, note that GitHub Pages may take a few minutes to propagate after initial setup.
Allow the Google-adstxt crawler in robots.txt
Wix manages robots.txt internally. The Google-adstxt crawler is not blocked by Wix's default configuration.
Check your current robots.txt at https://yourdomain.com/robots.txt. No action is normally needed, but if you have installed an SEO plugin that modifies robots.txt, verify that /app-ads.txt is not disallowed.
