for Google tooling that Wikidata could use to request URLs to be recrawled.
I don't know who is set up (if anyone) to access Google's Search Console on

This would be great tooling to have in general: a way for WD editors
(admins?) to send a "please update now" query to Google and other indexes,
for cases where time is of the essence.
Other tools would perhaps be more suited for this:

Nonetheless, take into account that Google treats Wikipedia sites specially
(also probably wiktionary, wikisource... not sure if Wikidata as well). It
usually picks changes real quick, but it seems to be lagging on this case.
