How can I remove my old sites URL from showing up in Google?

[Sika22]

Hi everyone.  We have had a new site up for over a year now.  When I search site:sqlsentry.net the old url still shows up and while those pages are redirected to .com I'd like to get the .net URL's out of google forever.  What is the best way I can go about that?

Hi there

If you have a search console profile for that .net URL, you could use the Change of Address tool to let crawlers know the site has moved.

I would also check this migration guide to see if there are any loose ends that may still be indexing those pages. Sometimes you can have internal links or sitemap issues that may still contain old URLs.

Lastly, there is the remove outdated content from Google tool, but I would make sure that your new URL / domain are appearing for all searches that you need it to be, and that the .net address isn't.

Hope this helps! Good luck!
