  Hi there,

  When you change the address of your site, this does not update listings within Google because to them your new URL is a new site in their eyes.

  If you wish you may want to register your site with them directly by following the steps here, which will allow them to index and list your new site in search more quickly: https://wordpress.com/support/webmaster-tools/#google-search-console

  Also when you change your site address we do not redirect traffic from the old one to the new one automatically. However if you wish you can set that up here for a small fee: https://wordpress.com/support/site-redirect/

  Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
