I'm managing a new Wordpress, self hosted site for a client. Their old site was based on Wix, without a custom domain.

Their Wix site ranks fairly highly for certain terms in Google, we'd ideally like to keep this if at all possible - though I'm struggling to see how this would be.

Wix doesn't support 301s away from their platform
As the client used a wix domain name (for free) I can't simply create re-directs on the new site and map them across
Meta Refresh header tags get stripped from the site on publish

All I can think of is a "We have moved" notice on their existing Wix site with a link to the new site - but I'm expecting an SEO hit.

Does anyone have any ideas as to how to minimize any SEO impact?

I am not sure if this strategy will work but research on net and ask questions to wix support.

Go for paid plan of wix which allows custom domain.
Register your domain with any domain seller.
Reach out to wix support that you want to have custom domain for your site.
They will surely handle the 301 redirects for mysite.wix.com to mysite.com Move the site to wordpress in couple of months without worrying about SEO impact of domain change.
