Context
I have a personal website I made using the new version of Google Site. It got a fairly good ranking (above the fold in google when I search for my name).
I got married and changed my name. I thus changed my website URL (from
sites.google.com/view/john-footosites.google.com/view/john-foo-bar), via Publish/Parameters/URL (or something similar: my GUI is not in english).Problem
The
john-foowebsite (that now throws an Error 404) is still well referenced, while thejohn-foo-barversion isn't in the five first pages when looking for "john foo bar" on Google. The change was made a couple of weeks ago.Question
How to notify search engine that my Google Site moved to a new URL (and, if possible, keep ranking reps from the older version)?
