      Hi all,

      Our website's server IP address is set to be redirected to our blog by mistake and it stayed same for months. Is there any way Google recognises it and how it responds if so?

      Thanks

        Hi Vtmoz,

        Google will not respond at all. I mean Google has no way to know that it was a mistake, unless many websites hosted by the same host provider had the same behaviour.

        Said that, I assume that you fixed the issue and into the Google Search Console you checked the robot texts, updated the sitemap (s) and "fetched as Google" too. 😉 Good luck!
