Old url is still indexed

[conversal]

A couple of months ago we requested a change of address in Search console. The new, correct url is already indexed. Yet when we search the old url (with site:www.) we find that the old url is still indexed. in Google Webmaster Tools the amount of indexed pages is reduced to 1.

Is there another way to remove old urls?

Does anything still live at the old site URL? If so, I would recommend using a noindex meta tag.

If not, you should be able to use the remove URL's tool  from Search Console. Is this what you used in the first place?

Hi

I would recommend pointing to the old url to the new url and resubmit your latest sitemap to Google reflecting the change of address.

Hello,

Two steps:

• 301 redirect from old URLs to new URLs
• Removing URLs from Google Webmasters Tool as Brooks proposes

That's all!!

Hello,

I agree with Agencia SEO,

The 301 redirect should help take care of the problem. It does take a little time for it to kick in, but it will help with all the search engines and not just Google.
