New domain with brand new site having different meta titles and tags appear in Google

BACKSTORY: So, my friend told me someone claimed his .com domain and used for marketing blog.

This is NOT the problem.

He just moved on and bought new domain. Totally new domain, not just another tld of the old one.

I removed everything in his file manager and setup a brandnew wordpress site for him.

After completing the site, i also set a meta title, desc and tags, schema and sitemap for him. And submitted to google and also created google search console account. Its about a week now and its totally a new domain.

But when i check the website in google using

“Site:newdomain. com”

The marketing blog that uses the old domain my friend let go of still appears as title in the search result. Some results have my assigned meta titles and desc but the marketing blog is still appearing like “My friend’s new site name - marketing blog”

How this happened? It seems like i didnt managed to remove whatever script injection it is and now its infecting the new site as well.

But when you click the result, it still goes to the website i created. Its just frustrating that all my setup for SEO arent working.

What is this problem and how can i remove it?

For clarification:

The fact that my friend’s lost his old domain - but that’s not the main problem I am talking about here. It is the back story.

I mentioned, the he let it go (the old domain), he bought a totally new domain in which I created a brand new wp site from scratch

The old domain has this “Marketing blog” from the “hijacker” or “domain taker”

The problem I am talking about here is why, despite of:

NEW domain - he purchased different domain, not just different tld

NEW Wordpress

I deleted all the files of his previous site on file manager

I setup new meta, submitted site map of the new site

The meta appears on Google is the site created by the hijacker/domain taker of old site - the marketing blog

I know Google takes time to pick up updates but in this case Google should have nothing to pickup

All are totally new: domain and site

I am NOT trying to use the old domain here.

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

Clients site has a weird issue with 302 redirects that I haven't seen before.

Site is in Drupal, hosted on Amazon CDN & Cloudflare. So here's a quick breakdown: The site itself works normally. It's a bit dated, but you can click on links and navigate around as you'd expect. Seeing no obvious issues, I run a Screaming Frog crawl to begin my audit. Only 5 pages were picked up by the crawl which was super weird, since all internal links are regular html and there shouldn't be any issues. So I go through the site and manually collect a bunch of URLs, which I submit to SF again as a list. Every single link bar the 5 originally crawled return a 302, with the 'redirect' pointing back to the home page. Except as I said, those pages don't browser redirect. Browser side, they work fine. I guess they redirect the crawl bot though, since the rest of the site is functionally invisible. Other tools I've looked at say that the pages return simultaneous 302 and 200s, which doesn't make too much sense. These 302s are also old enough ...
