Solved: 404 after SEO

Report · ‎08-08-2017

Hello,

I recently did SEO for my site, including the sitemap submission on Google Console, and several of my pages are showing a 404 message. Will the recrawl by Google fix that, and is there any way to change that 404 before Google gets to my recrawl, or do I have to wait for them? Thanks.

By the way, the domain name is the same as before the SEO, and it was with Weebly, also.

Also, if this needs a 301 redirect, how would that be done, if the urls have been changed to new ones.

Adding 301 redirects will help with this, @rwosjo. We have a guide in our Help Center which will show you how to set those up:

One other thing-

I've checked at least one, and the url listed in the web search is not the same as the new url listed in the SEO settings in the Build Page section. Again, will the crawl fix that, and am I able to fix it right away?

Thanks so much.
