I have 13 WordPress sites that were hit by the well-known “Japanese text” hack about two months ago. The infections themselves have already been cleaned: files are clean, databases sanitised, sites migrated to a new server, and all properties re-verified in Google Search Console. I also ran the URL Removal tool on every spammy URL I could find. Even with all that done, a site: search still brings up hacked titles and snippets on several of the domains—some show only a handful of leftovers, others still list dozens. I need a Search Console expert who can tell me why these pages remain in Google’s index, guide any additional steps (coverage fixes, canonical updates, sitemap tweaks, manual re-crawls, etc.), and then push each domain to a fully clean index. Deliverables • Clear, actionable explanation of the current indexing issue for all 13 sites • Step-by-step tasks executed inside Search Console (or via API if faster) to flush every remaining Japanese spam URL • Verification screenshots or reports showing zero hacked pages in a site: query for each domain • Brief prevention checklist so I don’t face the same residue after future clean-ups Everything is already malware-free; it’s purely an indexing and cache clean-up job. If you live inside Search Console and know all the levers—Removals, Inspect, Fetch, Validate Fix, sitemap resubmits—this should be quick work.
