301 Redirect & Google Search

Rank Math free

Hello,

As an example, I have a 301 auto-redirect, using Rank Math, from https://sri-lanka-tours-online.com/sri-lanka-tours-packages/ to https://sri-lanka-tours-online.com/tour-packages/

However, I still find that the old as well as the new URL both show up in Google Search. I would like to stop the old URL from showing up in Google Search. What should I do? Should I use the instant indexing ‘Google: Remove URL’ for this or is there a better and safer way as the old URL is a 301 redirect?

Kindly advise.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting the support.

As the old URL was already indexed, it is normal for Google to take time before removing it from the SERPs. As you’ve implemented the redirection correctly, Google would eventually drop the old URL from the SERPs.

With that said, I searched the old URL but it seems like it is no longer indexed. Here’s the search result: https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fsri-lanka-tours-online.com%2Fsri-lanka-tours-packages

Hope this helps.

Thank you.

OK, thank you for the explanation. Maybe the old URL was deindexed sometime today before I could check for it again!
