      We recently redesigned our e-commerce site and we've submitted the new site map and fetched as google bot but old site pages are still coming up indented under our homepage Google results.  The new meta description is coming up for the homepage but the Quilt Guard page is showing up under indented results and it goes to a 404 error because the link is no longer on the new site.

      Is there anyway to control the indented results/pages that show up in results?

        If you 301 to the new page from that url it may change idk if having 404s after a redesign is a good idea
