Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hey guys, I hate to 'bounce' but just wanted to add that all the pages that have this suffix of '- Maine Coons' don't have the same problem in any other search engine, it's just Google - which is the one that counts of course! I've tried editing the articles in question but most don't even reference 'Maine Coons' anywhere in the article so I really have no idea why Google is adding this. Any pointers appreciated! Also, the suffix can appear on the mobile SERP results but not on the desktop SERP results. Also, another thing that Google seems to do strange with our site - if you type in our domain (petskb) it doesn't come up anywhere in the SERP.  If you type our previous domains in, it's right at the top.

Hello Matt, As mentioned, it will take time for Google to crawl the old site's URLs, de-index them and transfer the rank to the new site. That process should take a few months to complete, so all you can do is wait. Trying to manually request crawling through the search console can speed up the process a little but in the end, it will still take its time. As to why the new articles aren't ranking, the issue should be looked over individually to your site, as there are many factors that contribute to a post ranking higher or lower in the SERPs. Feel free to contact me if you need an analysis and possible solutions for the issue. Daniel Rika - Dalerio Consulting https://dalerioconsulting.com/ info@dalerioconsulting.com
