Hi, @Athl .
I viewed your store on a desktop within a different browser, incognito mode and on mobile and can confirm that your favicon is displaying as expected. However, when using a mobile device and Google search, I was able to replicate the same error you’ve shared via screenshot.
To gather a bit of context, when did you add the favicon image to your Brooklyn theme? It can take up to 24 hours after uploading a favicon for Google to update and crawl your storefront.
However, if after 24 hours your favicon is still not visible within Google search, I recommend looking into the Google Search Central help resource. As per Google’s help resource, Google looks for and updates your favicon whenever it crawls your home page. If you make changes to your favicon and want to inform Google about the changes, you can request indexing of your site’s homepage. These updates can take a few days or longer to appear in search results.
How to make your site eligible for a favicon in search results:
-
Create a favicon that follows the guidelines.
-
Add a
<link>tag to the header of your home page with the following syntax:<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/path/to/favicon.ico">
I’d also love to hear more about how you started your fitness apparel business and if you need any further assistance with your store. Let us know if you have any further questions or concerns!
Heyy! Thank you for the solution. It’s been a couple of days since Ibadded
the favicon and its still not appearing on google search. Further, I’m
still a little confused as to how I can add the link the in the homepage
header. I’d really appreciate it if you can guide me further on this.
Thank you so much for your help!
We need help as well. It has been on our store for years with no issues bit disappeared last month and not recovered. We have requested recrawl as well on the console. Shopify should assist store owners with following up with Google. Shows on our browser tab but not on the search engine results. On google search console, our prefix url property is showing the favicon but the domain property is not. We are wondering if that is an issue. We need advise.
