You should have 301 redirected it
Hi All experts,
I have two domains live on web - xyz.com & abc.com. Both are pointing to same website so creating the issue of duplicate content. when i am searching random content snippet in Google, It shows me abc.com in search results. But mu original domain is xyz.com. I want xyz.com to appear in search results.
I cannot apply meta noindex tag in abc.com.
So what I have done- I closed the domain abc.com so it is no more live on web.
Will it make appear xyz.com in search results for the same content ?
Will it solve the problem of duplicate content ?
Please let me have clarification on this issue
Thanks in advance

I would not shut down the old url. I would 301 redirect. It will help with seo as well as help get your domain indexed.
