Google is not indexing my new URL structure. Why not?

ColeLusby

Hi all,

We launched a new website for a customer on April 29th. That same day we resubmitted the new sitemap & asked Google to fetch the new website.

Screenshot is attached of this (GWT Indexed).

However, when I look at Google Index (see attachment - Google Index), Automated Production's old website URL's still appear. It's been two weeks.

Is it normal for Google's index to take this long to update?

Thanks for your help.

Good catch Linda!

It is a surprisingly common thing to have happen...

PatrickDelehanty

Definitely agree - I have had a few clients where this happened. This should be one of the first things you check, so easy to forget!

All I can say is 'wow'

I'm quite embarrassed. Thanks for your help nonetheless

The obvious is missed huh? lol.

Look at the bright side, at least it's an easy fix.
