If your site has a Favikon, it can be displayed in the results of Google search for your site. In this manual, steps are considered how to make your Favikon appear in search engines.

This document is intended for organic search results. For logos on the results of Google ADS, read the recommendations for business requirements.

Favikon implementation for your Google site

To make your Eligible site to display the phavicon in the results of the Google search, follow the following steps:

Create a phavicon that meets all the recommendations.
Add the tag <link> In the headline of your main page, using the following syntax:
```
<link rel="icon" href="/path/to/favicon.ico">
```

To extract information about Favicon, Google uses tag attributes <link>.

Important attributes of tags <link> For Favikon:

REL - supported values of the attribute REL:
- Icon - The icon that represents your site (standard option).
- Shortcut Icon - The outdated version of the icon, but is still supported for compatibility.
- Apple-Touch-ICON - Icon for iOS, appropriate Apple documentation.
- Apple-Touch-ICON-PRECOMPOSED - Icon for older IOS versions.
Href - URL Favikon. This can be a relative path (/smile.ico) or the absolute path (https://example.com/smile.ico). The URL does not have to be posted on your site (for example, the Favicon can be posted on the Content delivery network, CDN).

Give the Google time to re -bypassing and processing new information on your main page. Do not forget that indexation can take from several days to several weeks, depending on how often Google updates the data on the site. You can request indexing the main page of your site through the instrument "Inspectorate of the URL".

Recommendations for the Favikon of your site in Google

In order for your Favikon to be displayed in the results of Google’s search, it is important to follow the following recommendations.

Please note that even if all the recommendations are followed by Favicon will not always be displayed in search engines.

Google Search supports only one phavicon for the site where the site is determined by a domain name. For example, https://www.example.com/ and https://code.example.com/ - these are two different domains, respectively, different phavicons can be installed for them. However, https://www.example.com/sub-site is a subcatalog, and you can install only one phavicon for https://www.example.com/, which will be applied to the entire site, including subdivisions.
Googlebot-Image should be able to process the Favikon file, as well as Googlebot should have access to the main page of your site-these files cannot be blocked for bypass.
So that users can quickly identify your site when viewing search results, make sure your Favikon visually reflects the brand of your site.
Favicon should be square (the ratio of sides 1: 1) and have a minimum size of 8x8 pixels. However, we recommend using a phavicon in the size of at least 48x48 pixels so that it looks high quality on different devices. All valid icon formats are supported.
Favikon URL should be stable (do not change it often).
Google will not show the phavicons that he considers inappropriate, including pornographic or hated symbols (for example, swastika). If such images are found in Favion, Google will replace it with a standard icon.
