When I searched google for the website I recently redesigned & developed, I still see a thumbnail of a cached image/screenshot of the old design. Is there any way for me to replace this automatically?
Thanks in advance! :)

Hi Laura,
I assume you’re referring to the instant preview image that displays in the search results. If not, please clarify.
If so: “Previews are generally updated regularly or re-generated on the fly when requested by users. In some cases, it’s possible that preview images are not updated as frequently as we normally crawl and index the page. It is not possible to manually request an update of a preview image.”
You can read Google’s full FAQ (which theysay they will update regularly) at the following URL:
