I deleted an image from our blog but it still appears in Google search. How can I make google crawl my site faster so it drops from the search?

Hi @ACCPROJ.  You can request that Google’s bots crawl your updated site, but there is no guarantee when they will get around to it.  Usually, it takes a few weeks unless you are a heavily trafficked web site.  Here’s one link to an article that explains how to do this.  There are others if you want to do a Google search on the subject.

 

Word of warning.  While the image might not be shown any longer on Google’s products, that does not guarantee that it won’t hang around forever.  The internet never forgets, really.  Deleted content is just harder to find, not impossible to find.

 

Best,

Chip
