: Change page title in Google results when the response is a 303 redirect We have a purchased a new domain name (example.com) that was owned by another company and it appears Google has cached

@Caterina187

I suspect you're going to have to put a html page in the way, give the users a button to click for redirection, and wait for Google to re-index.

You can try requesting that Google Remove the page via webmaster tools and then re-include it via webmaster tools, but this may/not cost juice.

Google have a detailed rundown on removal and update options on their official blog, this is the most pertinent part for your situation:-


Changing the page content If you want to remove the cached version of a page because it contained content that you've removed and don't
want indexed, you can request the cache removal here. We'll check to
see that the content on the live page is different from the cached
version and if so, we'll remove the cached version. We'll
automatically make the latest cached version of the page available
again after six months (and at that point, we likely will have
recrawled the page and the cached version will reflect the latest
content) or, if you see that we've recrawled the page sooner than
that, you can request that we reinclude the cached version sooner
using this tool.


But the cache is not always the same as the meta data, my experience is that they update the title tags but the meta descriptions seem to linger forever.
