Google Seeing Way More Pages Than My Site Actually Has

[InfinityTechnologySolutions]

For one of my sites, A-1 Scuba Diving And Snorkeling Adventures, Google is seeing way more pages than I actually have. It sees almost 550 pages but I only have about 50 pages in my XML. I am sure this is an error on my part. Here is the search results that show all my pages. Can anyone give me some guidance on what I did wrong. Is it a canonical url problem, a redirect problem or something else. Built on Wordpress. Thanks in advance for any help you can give. I just want to make sure I am delivering everything I can for the client.

Did you recently update your site? It seems like a lot of the pages it is pulling were once on your server.

Hey Max,

I agree with Lesley here, Google is fetching your previous pages. You need to wait some time to see the latest result but for quick fixing, you can do these things,

1. Run a Screaming Frog and see how many pages it shows.
2. Copy all the links that google is showing into excel sheet and check each one.
3. Block the extra pages through no index tag or redirect them to the relevant current pages if your have.

For more information on the indexing and crawling, refer this useful latest WBF from Rand,

Hope this helps!
