Figma Sites — No Favicon on Google Search

Question

I’ve used the Favicon upload tool in settings, using a Frame with PNG image with a 1:1 aspect ratio.

Favicon looks great on tabs and everywhere else it appears. However, it does not appear on the Google Search listing for the website. This has been over many weeks, different browsers, incognito, cookies cleared, etc.

Code that Figma generates for this is the following:

<link id="link-iij9jo" rel="icon" href="/_assets/v11/43bb95a5f25e066aa2f349f2b87202a12384e0d5.png">

Am I missing anything?

Hey, ​@Steven DLM! Thanks for posting.Don’t worry, you aren’t missing anything as far as adding it to your site. The Google bot that crawls Favicons is a low-volume bot, which means that it does crawls and updates to the main index less frequently as compared to other content. It’s not unusual for it take a long time for the favicon to show up in search, and Google even states in their own documentation that it may not appear at all even when it meets all of their guidelines. That’s not my expectation with your Favicon, though!You might want to try asking Google to re-crawl your URL. It can take days or weeks for it to do this, but it’s not a bad idea to make sure that Google hasthe most up-to-date index of your site.
