We're in the process of launching our Magento website. Everything is live now & we've taken down our 'coming soon' page. The problem is our 'coming soon' page is what is showing up in google search & when we add a link to our site on facebook.

Is there a method to change this or do we have to wait for Google to update?

We've submitted a sitemap to google.

Thanks for your help :)

Answer 1

I found a useful article which explains how you can request that Google removes old cached pages for your site from it's search results.

Answer 2

I had the same problem. Just wait for 2 or 3 days and GG is going to update the result with your new website.

Answer 3

If that "coming soon" page was not your site landing page, you can add that URL to robots.txt file. By the way, just wait for a day or two! The sitemap will do the job and soon update their database. Don't forget to try Google Webmaster Tools.
