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.

Legit Reviews

The google review thing is insane I have gotten 2 legit verified reviews that i ask client to screenshot and observe goolge not post them, pretend like they never happened and when i sent them the image a policy message was sent . As I was browsing through the google forum a lot of ppl are getting hit with legit reviews being removed. While all this is going on i have observe a company go from 12 reviews to 65 reviews in a two month period with some stuff that dont make sense on some of them. Seems like a new business or profile is being limited while aged accounts can have a free for fall but who really knows. Still waiting for a resolution on a if any. submitted by /u/Ok-Bowl-6167 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/zkbfgDH

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

7 SEO Lessons I've Learned in 2025 (So Far) - From Building a Competitor Analysis Tool

Hey r/SEO , I've been spending a lot of time lately building a competitor keyword research tool (more on that below!), and it's really forced me to dig deep into how SEO works today . Here are some of the key lessons I've learned – hopefully, they're helpful to you too: Keyword Gaps Are Gold: It's not enough to just know what keywords your competitors rank for. You need to know what they rank for that you don't . This is where the real opportunities lie. Focusing on these "gap" keywords has been a game-changer for my own site. (This is actually why I built the tool – to make finding these gaps easier). Relevance > Volume (Sometimes): High search volume is great, but relevance is even more important. A keyword with 100 searches per month that's perfectly aligned with your niche and audience is often more valuable than a keyword with 10,000 searches that's only tangentially related. I've seen much better results targeting tho...
