Google adds Removals Tool to the Google Search Console

Google has recently launched a new removals tool in Google Search Console. 

What you can do with this tool: 

· Allows you temporarily hide URLs from showing in Google search

· Display which content is not in Google as it is “outdated content” 

· Lists the URLs were filtered by Google’s SafeSearch adult filter.

Where to access the tool. You can access the tool in the index tab of Google Search Console

Now you can Temporarily Hide the Unwanted URL'S

Google allows you to remove URLs from showing in Google search quickly via Google Search Console. This was a feature in the old Search Console but now is available in the new version. Temporarily removals do not actually delete your URL from Google’s index, instead, it just hides the URL for about six-months from showing up in the search results. You will still need to permanently block the URL in the future, such as using a 404, robots.txt or another method to block the URL.

 

Google provides two types of removals:

· Temporary remove URL will hide the URL from Google Search results for about six months and clear the cached copy of the page.

· Clear cache URL clears the cached page and wipes out the page description snippet in Search results until the page is crawled again.
