If the organic traffic to your Wix Editor site went down after you switched themes, make sure that the page URLs didn't change and that you set up proper 301 redirects to let search engines know where the content went.

Next, go back to the Wix SEO Panel and make sure that each page has the correct title tag, meta description, and slug. Sometimes, changes to the template can reset or replace these values.

Also, make sure your site is safe in Google Search Console, send in a new sitemap, and look for crawl errors or indexing problems that may have happened after the makeover.

Lastly, keep an eye on page speed and mobile responsiveness. A new template could make it take longer for pages to load or look bad on phones, both of which can hurt your results.

Improving the quality of your images and getting rid of unnecessary design features can help your search work better again.
