How do I deal with old URLs from previous site owner (now 404s)

Hi, @oli011

This is a great question! Can I ask when you bought this domain? Typically when Google’s bot crawls through sites it updates the sitemap, have you submitted your sitemap for review to Google yet?

Once that is done, it can take 2-3 months for the older URLs that would not resolve any more to fall off on the console itself, or so we have seen.
