New Removal tool launched by Google Search Console<\/h2>\n

Google has launched a new tool within the Google Search Console known as \u201cremovals\u201d tool. This tool does three things:<\/p>\n

1. It allows you to hide URLs temporarily from showing in the Google search.<\/p>\n

2. It displays which of your content is not on Google because it is outdated.<\/p>\n

3. It shows you which of the URLs are filtered by Google\u2019s SafeSearch adult filter.<\/p>\n

\"temporary<\/h3>\n

How to Access the New Removal Tool?<\/h3>\n

In order to access the new \u201cremoval\u201d tool, open Google Search Console, and then click on \u201cRemovals\u201d under the \u201cIndex\u201d menu.
\nOr, you can click on this link (https:\/\/search.google.com\/search-console\/removals<\/a>) to access the tool.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s have a look at the features of this tool in-depth.<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Remove URLs Temporarily<\/strong><\/p>\n

It allows you to hide your URLs from appearing on the Google search results for around six months. However, if you want to remove the page permanently, you\u2019ll need to block the URL using a 404 or robots.txt. In this, Google gives you two options:
\n\u2022 Hide URLs from Google SERPs for six months and clear the cached copy of the page.
\n\u2022 Clear cache URL that wipes out the page description snippet in search results until the page is crawled again.<\/p>\n

2. Outdated Content<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most SEO companies in India consider this as an excellent thing for webmasters. It provides information on removal requests made through public Remove Outdated Content tool, that can be used by anyone (not just site owners) to update the search results showing information no longer present on a page. You can see a history of all requests made to update or remove the outdated content on your site in the last six months.<\/p>\n

3. SafeSearch Filtering<\/strong><\/p>\n

This section displays the pages that are marked as adult content. Most often, Google blocks these kinds of content. Users can report specific URLs as adult-only, and Google then reviews the pages. If Google feels that the content should be filtered, then the URL is tagged as adult content. Previously, it was hard to identify the pages that were blocked as it was being labeled as adult content. So this would help communicate that.<\/p>\n

Google search console\u2019s address tool update to help you move your site<\/h2>\n

The change of address feature was available in the old Google Search Console interface. However, when Google shut down the old interface, this feature was also eliminated. Fortunately, Google reintroduced this feature.<\/p>\n

\"Google<\/h3>\n

What is the Change of Address Tool?<\/h3>\n

This tool is a way to tell Google that you are moving your site to a new address. For example, if you are moving from www.example.com to www.example2.com. You can use the Change of Address tool to inform Google when you move your website from one domain to another. This tells Google about the change and helps redirect old site visitors to your new website.<\/p>\n

How to use it?<\/h3>\n

Open Google Search Console and go to settings. You\u2019ll see the option to change the address.<\/p>\n

The first step to using the change of address tool is setting up 301 redirects from your old site to the new one. This will help you bring visitors who are entering your old URL.<\/p>\n

Once you have completed the first step, you can enter the new URL and update the same on the Google Search Console.<\/p>\n

What if I don\u2019t Tell Google When Changing My Domain?<\/h3>\n

If you don\u2019t inform Google when migrating from one domain to another, you will likely lose a lot of traffic. Google will show your old URL on the results page, and you\u2019ll have to start your SEO from scratch.<\/p>\n

When you tell Google about changing the domain, Google will redirect your visitors to your new site. Additionally, it will show your unique URL in the search engine results page.<\/p>\n

Note: It might take up to 180 days to complete the moving process after you have initiated the request in Google Search Console.<\/p>\n

Both the \u201cremoval\u201d tool and the \u201cchange of address\u201d tool are the fundamental tools used by SEOs and webmasters to indicate changes on their site to Google. This will prevent you from getting penalized by Google.<\/p>\n
