Hey guys, I need a bit of help with SEO.
So, we had a site with more than 1.000 pages indexed, this pages used a url structure like /state/city/something/name
One of our engineers changed a part of the url structure, something like /city/ to /city-1/, he also updated the sitemap with the new url's.
He didn't put any 301 redirection so now all the old url's started throwing 404 to google, we didn't knew about this and the engineer didn't told us because he didn't even knew the mistake he had made.
Short story, google de indexed all of the pages and is not taking in account the new url's in the sitemap.
We now have less than 75 pages indexed and it has been like this for 3 weeks, I think google dont trust us anymore?
I really dont know what to do, google stopped visiting the old url's so there is no point in putting the 301 redirects now.
Thanks for your time..
