301 or 302 redirect affecation in SEO

I have a page A, and I have done a redirection from B to A. But I have a doubt, I want google to index B instead of A. What do I need a 301 or a 302 redirection?

Thanks in advance.

Use 302 to keep redirected URL in the SERP

By using a 302 redirect, both URLs will stay in Google index and might be displayed in Search Engines Result Pages (SERP).

NB: You can not replace one by the other and remove destination URL from the SERP.

Why ? because Search Engines use standard

301 means the document has moved

So for Google, if B redirects with a 301 to A, B will totally disappear from the index and all information associated to B will be asociated to A.

302 means the document is temporary somewhere else

It means that the first URL B is still valid. In this case Google will keep B in its index and all informations associated with it (backlinks, etc.).
