Dear SEO experts,
Let's say I created first a post and wrote first an article about a 'smart vacuum cleaner'.
- Google ranked 'mysite/vacuum-cleaner-smart' to page 1.
Now I wrote a post for just 'vacuum-cleaner' and I added the content of my 'smart vacuum cleaner' post into the 'vacuum-cleaner' post. I removed all content from 'mysite/vacuum-cleaner-smart' So the mysite/vacuum-cleaner-smart is now an empty post.
- Now I want google to rank the slug: mysite/vacuum-cleaner, instead of mysite/vacuum-cleaner-smart. So I put a redirect from mysite/vacuum-cleaner-smart to mysite/vacuum-cleaner.
Now for one reason vacuum-cleaner still doesn't rank, and I am quite sure my post is much better SEO than the other pages on vacuum-cleaner.
Must I remove mysite/vacuum-cleaner-smart from google, and then reindex mysite/vacuum-cleaner to start ranking on vacuum-cleaner?
Or shall I wait, keep the redirect on and let google do it w/o using reindex on the Google Search Console?
