Why is my website's logo/favicon not showing up on Google search results even after multiple updates in Webflow?
TL;DR
- Ensure favicon and webclip are uploaded in Webflow Project Settings and publish changes.
- Verify Open Graph settings and structured data for correct logo display.
- Clear browser cache, test incognito mode, and check console for errors.
- Use
cache:yourwebsite.comto check Google’s cached version and identify outdated data. - Request reindexing via Google Search Console to speed up updates.
- Wait for Google to reflect the changes, as updates may take time.
Your favicon or logo may not be appearing in Google search results due to cache issues, missing meta tags, or Google’s delayed indexing. Follow these steps to troubleshoot and fix the issue.
1. Check Favicon & Webclip in Webflow
- Go to Webflow Project Settings > General.
- Ensure you have uploaded a Favicon (32x32px) and Webclip (configured in Webflow under the same section).
- Click Save Changes and Publish your site.
2. Verify Open Graph & Structured Data
- Go to Webflow Page Settings for your homepage.
- Under Open Graph settings, make sure the logo/image is correctly set.
- Use a proper logo URL in your structured data (if applicable).
3. Clear Browser Cache & Test on Multiple Devices
- Open your site in Incognito mode or use a different browser.
- Check for missing favicon-related console errors in Developer Tools (F12 > Console).
- If caching is the issue, a simple browser refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R / Cmd+Shift+R) might help.
4. Check Google’s Cached Version
- Search your site on Google with
cache:yourwebsite.com - If the favicon appears in Webflow but not in cached search results, Google may still be storing an old version.
5. Request Google to Reindex Your Site
- Open Google Search Console.
- Go to URL Inspection tool and enter your site’s homepage URL.
- Click Request Indexing to speed up Google’s update process.
6. Wait for Google to Update Results
- Google may take days or weeks to reflect favicon changes.
- Keep checking Google Search results periodically.
Summary
Ensure the favicon and Open Graph settings are correctly set in Webflow, check caching issues, request reindexing in Google Search Console, and wait for Google to update. If the issue persists, verify structured data and test across browsers.
