Hi,
I redesigned a clients website and launched it two weeks ago. Since then, I have 301 redirected all old URL's in Google's search results to their counterparts on the new site.
However, none of the new pages are appearing in the search results and even the homepage has disappeared. Only old site links are appearing (even though the old website has been taken down ) and in GSC, it's stating that:
Page is not indexed: Duplicate, Google chose different canonical than user
However, when I try to understand how to fix the issue and see which URL it is claiming to be a duplicate of, it says:
Google-selected canonical: N/A
It says that the last crawl was only yesterday - how can I possibly fix it without knowing which page it says it's a duplicate of? Is this something that just takes time, or is it permanent?
I would understand if it was just Google taking time to crawl the pages and index but it seems to be adamant it's not going to show any of them at all.
