Remove Pages from Google on Squarespace/Wix | TTGC
Learn how to delete or hide pages and get them out of search results.
You need a page removed from Google after deleting it in Squarespace or Wix. We show you the exact steps to do this.
How Do I Delete a Page on Squarespace/Wix?
Deleting a page is easy but does not instantly remove it from Google. Both platforms let you delete pages and toggle indexing.
Go to your site’s dashboard.
Find the page you want to delete.
Click “Delete” or “Hide.”
Confirm the deletion.
What Happens When I Delete a Page?
Deleting a page returns a 404 error. Google still needs to re-crawl the page to remove it from search results.
A 404 means the page is gone.
Google may take time to notice.
Use other methods for faster removal.
How Do I Set a Page to Noindex?
Setting a page to noindex tells Google not to show it in search results. This is useful if you want to keep the page but hide it from search engines.
Go to your site’s dashboard.
Find the page settings.
Toggle “noindex” on.
Save changes.
How Do I Keep My Sitemap Connected?
Keeping your sitemap connected helps Google find and remove pages faster. Both Squarespace and Wix have built-in sitemaps that you can connect to Google Search Console.
Go to Google Search Console.
Find “Sitemaps.”
Enter your sitemap URL.
Submit the sitemap.
How Do I Redirect a Moved Page?
If you moved a page, use redirects to send visitors to the new location. This helps avoid 404 errors and keeps your site’s SEO strong.
Go to your site’s dashboard.
Find the page settings.
Set up a redirect to the new page.
Save changes.
How Do I Use Google’s Removal Tool?
Google’s Removal Tool lets you request urgent removal of a page. This is useful if you need the page removed quickly.
Go to Google Search Console.
Find “Removals.”
Enter the URL of the page.
Request removal.
How Do I Request a Re-Crawl?
Requesting a re-crawl tells Google to check your site again. This helps speed up the removal process.
Go to Google Search Console.
Find “URL Inspection.”
Enter the URL of the page.
Request a re-crawl.
