The old URL still appears on the new site

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing with the old URL still appearing in search results for your new site. It can take some time for search engines to update their indexes, especially if the old site has been indexed for a long time.

Here are a few steps you can take to help resolve this issue:

1. Check for Duplicate Content: Ensure that there is no duplicate content between the two sites. If there are similar pages, consider using canonical tags to indicate which page should be prioritized by search engines. You can easily change the canonical URL using the Rank Math meta box.
   

2. Request Reindexing: Since you’ve already used Google Search Console, make sure you have requested indexing for your new homepage URL. You can do this by entering your new homepage URL in Google Search Console and clicking REQUEST INDEXING.
   

3. Submit a Sitemap: Ensure that you have submitted a sitemap for your new site. Rank Math automatically creates a Sitemap Index for your website, which can be found at `https://rankmath.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Manual-Action.png. Submitting this sitemap to Google can help them find and crawl all the pages on your new site more efficiently.

4. Monitor Manual Actions: Check the Manual Actions report in Google Search Console to see if there are any penalties or issues affecting your new site.
   

If you’ve followed these steps and the issue persists, we recommend replying to this ticket so that a human agent from the Rank Math Support team can assist you further.

Thank you for raising this concern, and we hope to help you resolve it soon!
