Adding a Favicon Image to Your Site's Pages in Search Results
Once you have created your website, you can add a favicon. This is the image that appears next to your site's URL in search results. Your visitors also see your favicon in the browser tab when they view your site on desktop and mobile devices. A favicon is one of the main reference images for your site, which is why most companies use their own logo.

FAQs
Click a question below to learn more about adding a favicon to your site's pages in search results.
Why can't I add a favicon to my site?
You need to publish your site before you can add a favicon.
How long does it take for my favicon to appear in search results?
After you add a favicon or update it, search engines will update their version the next time that they crawl your site.
Indexation and search results are entirely at Google's discretion. Wix cannot guarantee when Google will index your favicon or whether it will choose to display it in search results. Learn more about Google's favicon guidelines.
To speed up the process, you can re-submit your sitemap through Google Search Console.
What should I do if my favicon doesn't appear in search results after some time?
If your favicon still does not appear in search results after some time, make sure that search engines can index your homepage. Learn how to enable this in your site's editor .
What file type should I use for my favicon?
You should use a .jpg or .png image file.
What size should my favicon be?
Your favicon should be a 1:1 image ratio (a square shape). Google recommends a multiple of 48px square, e.g. 48x48px, 96x96px, 144x144px etc.
You should also make sure your favicon looks good at a resolution of 16x16px as Google rescales favicons to that size. The Wix Photo Studio can help you edit images.
