How to update image shown next to business name in Google Search drop down?

coslowstudio · ‎12-17-2024

Hi,

How would I go about updating the image that shows when someone searches for my client in the search bar, next to their company name? It currently shows a popular product, instead of their brand logo.

Thanks,

Hi @coslowstudio

The image next to the business name in Google Search is usually pulled from the Google Knowledge Panel or your Google Business Profile. Here’s how to fix it:

Update the Logo on Google Business Profile:
- Head over to the Google Business Profile Manager.
- Upload your client’s official logo and set it as the primary image.
Use Organization Schema to tell Google which logo to display
- Go to Online Store > Themes > Actions > Edit Code.
- Open theme.liquid > add this code above the </head> tag:

{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Organization",
  "name": "Your Client's Business Name",
  "url": "https://yourwebsite.com",
  "logo": "https://yourwebsite.com/path-to-logo.png"
}

Test it using Google’s Rich Results Test
If a Knowledge Panel already exists (the info box on the right side of search results), you’ll see an option that says "Suggest an Edit" or "Feedback" at the bottom of the panel. Click on them to request logo changes.

It might take some time for Google to update the results since it needs to re-crawl the website and process the changes. For more info, check out these Google’s official docs:

Structured Data (Schema Markup): https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/structured-data/organization
Google Business Profile Help: https://support.google.com/business

Let me know how it goes! 😊

Hi DaisyVo,

Thanks for taking the time out to reply to me!

I tried adding the code you suggested but it shows as text at the top of the site. I added it to the theme.liquid > above the </head> tag. Do you know why this would happen?

Hi @coslowstudio

Thank you for reaching out!

My apology! The structured data code I sent was missing the <script type="application/ld+json"> tag 😅.

Maybe Shopify deleted it as it's considered as invalid HTML

Please try this correct one:

<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Organization",
  "name": "Your Business Name",
  "url": "https://yourstoreurl.com",
  "logo": "https://yourstoreurl.com/path-to-logo.png"
}
</script>

Let me know if it works!

Thanks,

Daisy

Thanks Daisy, that update made the code valid however I am unsure if it fixed the issue. I used the Google Rich Tests and there is no option to request edits

Hi @coslowstudio,

To update the image that appears in search results, you’ll need to check and set the Open Graph (OG) tags for your client’s website. Here’s how to do it:

Set the Brand Logo in OG Tags:
Go to your client’s Shopify admin and navigate to the theme editor (Online Store > Themes > Actions > Edit Code). Open the theme.liquid or the relevant file in the <head> section and look for or add the Open Graph meta tags like this:

<meta property="og:image" content="URL_of_your_logo_image" />

Replace URL_of_your_logo_image with the direct link to the logo image (ensure the logo is uploaded in the Files section in Shopify).
Clear Caches:
After updating the OG tags, use tools like the Facebook Sharing Debugger or Twitter Card Validator to clear any cached preview. This ensures the updated image appears in search results.
Check Search Engines:
For Google, ensure the brand logo is correctly associated via the Google Search Console under the Organization schema or use JSON-LD structured data to specify the logo.

This should solve the issue. It may take some time for search engines to update the image.

Stay inspired,
Best regards,

Thank you, I added the tag you shared with the link to the logo image which is in Shopify, but the Facebook Sharing Debugger doesn't show any image for the link to the homepage. https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/?q=www.rawliving.co.uk%2F
