What to do if Google Results Show Incorrect Data

Google Results Showing Incorrect Data

If you’ve recently updated your website but Google is still showing old or incorrect information (like page titles, descriptions, or outdated content), don’t worry — this is normal.

Google doesn’t update its indexed results immediately after you make changes. It can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks for updates to appear in search results.

✅ What You Can Do

Here are a few steps you can take to help Google refresh your website data faster:

1. Check and Update Your Meta Titles & Descriptions

   • In your website editor, review each page’s SEO settings.

   • Make sure your page title and meta description are up to date and relevant to the page content.

   • Publish your site once you’ve made changes.

2. Request Re-Indexing in Google Search Console

   • Go to https://search.google.com/search-console

   • Add and verify your website if you haven’t already.

   • Use the URL Inspection Tool to check a page and click Request Indexing to ask Google to re-scan it.

3. Update Your Google Business Profile (if applicable)

   • Log in to https://www.google.com/business/

   • Make sure your business name, website link, and contact details are correct.

   • These updates help ensure Google displays accurate information in both Search and Maps.

? When Will It Update?

Reindexing time varies depending on factors like your site’s authority, frequency of updates, and Google’s crawl schedule. It’s best to wait a little while after submitting changes before checking again.

Tip: Keep your sitemap updated and ensure it’s submitted in Google Search Console — this helps Google discover changes faster.
