Deleted events showing up on Google

[vancouverfamily]

We deleted some events from the calendar that are no longer taking place on a specific date, but when we search Google for the events, they still come up on Google. Any way we can manipulate those search results so they don’t come up on searches?

Hello vancouverfamily,

Thanks for contacting us. As far as I know, there is no direct way to manipulate those results. You may try contacting Google, but I doubt they would help.

Maybe an SEO plugin would help, or using a sitemap with Google Webmaster can control those results a bit. That goes beyond the scope of these forums though, and SEO is pretty much an art (never really a science). Your mileage may vary.

If nothing else, there may be a work around. If you add back the events so that users will get to it from Google, you can leave a large message or alert explaining the situation. As far as I can tell, that would be the only situation where you would have full control.

Does this make sense? Let me know if this doesn’t work for you.

Cheers!
