Google and other search engines do not update search results immediately after changes are made to your website.
Even after content is removed or updated in DA, search engines may still display old page or content info until they recrawl and reindex it.
Search engine results are managed by the individual search engines and can not be directly controlled, edited, or removed within DA.
Why this happens
Google periodically crawls websites, but the timing is controlled by Google—not Veriday. This means removed or updated content may remain visible in search results for an extended period of time.
What you can do
Wait for natural reindexing:
Google will automatically update its index after the next crawl of your site.
Use Google Search Console (if available):
If your marketing team has access to Google Search Console:
- Submit a URL removal request to temporarily hide a page from search results.
- Request a manual reindex so Google crawls the updated page sooner.
If your marketing team does not have access to Google Search Console:
- Add a "Noindex" script using Connectors to remove an entire page.
- Ensure your content has been completely removed or your page deleted.
- Note: If the page or content remains accessible or indexable, it may reappear in search results later.
