: Will a permanent redirecting domain appear in Google search results? I have a domain A which will permanently redirect to domain B. May I know if there is a chance domain A will appear from

Google will still reindex old domain (DOMAIN A) if it doesn't refreshes its database. There will be a dance on your rankings but as long as a proper 301 redirect is applied, it should be back on track. Also, submit new redirected URL (DOMAIN B) to Google's search index for faster indexation (fetch as Google in the Google Search Console).

There will be a transition from Google showing Domain A to Domain B. Depending how large and how crawlable your site is, it can take days or even weeks for the transition to be complete.

The end result though will be that only Domain B will be left in the index since Domain A permanently redirects to Domain B. There is no point Google showing Domain A since it effectively has no content and so search results will only show Domain B.

Google will only keep a redirecting page in the index if it is a temporary redirect, returning 302 instead of 301. That will also slow down your users since the redirect will not be cached.

Google doesn't index pages from redirecting domains. However, Google does the right thing when somebody searches for the domain that redirects. It shows show search results from the target domain. Google uses redirecting domains as a major factor in deciding if a query deserves "do you mean" treatment.

Here is a fictional example that illustrates a misspelling redirecting to example.com. I created this from one of my own redirecting domains, but anonymized it by using the example domain. In my case the alternate domain has a 301 permanent redirect to my main domain. For my sites, this works whether the search includes the .com or just the alternate brand name.

If Domain A has organic search presence then it will appear in Google Search for some. If you have done proper redirection on domain B (Including all pages) and does not generate any 404 error on domain B then after sometime domain A organic search result will be transferred to domain B.
