Why isn't my favicon appearing in Google SERP?

Martin89 · ‎11-06-2023

Hello,

My favicon is showing on the list of pages but is not showing in SERP. I added favicon by: Online store > Themes > Customize and Theme settings > Favicon

Favicon is png format and is 48x48.

I add screenshots of the problem.

I contacted Theme developer (Yuva) and Shopify support but without successful solution.

Could anybody help?

Thank you

Hi,

Google Search only supports one favicon per site, where a site is defined by the hostname.
The favicon file must be crawlable by Googlebot-Image and the home page by Googlebot; they cannot be blocked for crawling.
To help people quickly identify your site when they scan through search results, make sure your favicon is visually representative of your website's brand.
Your favicon must be a multiple of 48px square, for example: 48x48px, 96x96px, 144x144px and so on. SVG files don't have a specific size. Any valid favicon format is supported.
The favicon URL must be stable (don't change the URL frequently).
Google won't show any favicon that it deems inappropriate, including **bleep**ography or hate symbols (for example, swastikas). If this type of imagery is discovered within a favicon, Google replaces it with a default icon.

This generally instructions generated by robots are not so much helpful. Only what I change was add following link to my <head></head> section in theme.liquid:

But now I have actually two links about my favicon(the one in screenshot and second this one). I do not know if this is right.

After that I ask for recrawling my homepage on GSC.
