This video walks you through updating your website's favicon using the Luxury Presence platform. You'll learn what a favicon is, how it reinforces your brand identity in browser tabs and search results, and how to update it in your site's editor. By the end, you'll be able to swap in a new favicon and understand why changes may take time to appear in Google search results.
What's Covered
- What a favicon is — A small image that appears next to your website's name in browser tabs, bookmarks, browser history, and sometimes Google search results.
- Updating your favicon — Go to Websites, open the site editor, click the website styles icon, select Website Branding, and edit the favicon image.
- Selecting and assigning a new image — Search your images, select the icon you'd like to use, and click Assign Selected, then save.
- Choosing the right image — Use a simple, 32 by 32 pixel image so it displays clearly at such a small size.
- Understanding search result delays — Google needs to recrawl your site before an updated favicon appears in search results, a timeline controlled entirely by Google.
