Collaborada Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Hi @Kfed. This looks to be a recent migration, so give it some time. Likely by the time you finish the migration work, the favicon issue will sort itself out. Kfed 1 Have SEO questions? Chances are we've written about it! Try a quick Google search to find our advice.

Migration refers to moving an existing website to a new location, including: Platform migrations - such as moving from WordPress to Squarespace Domain migrations - changing a domain or merging domains Structural migrations - reorganizing a site’s architecture, URL structure, moving from HTTP to HTTPS Google talks about site moves here: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/site-move-with-url-changes Designers that are new to migrating (moving, transferring, redesigning, etc.) websites might consider collaborating with experienced professionals for a smoother transition.

Sifat_SEOSpace Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 (edited) Hi- @Kfed, I understand how frustrating this can be - below I've added some solutions. Did you change the icon recently? If yes, it will take some time to get updated on search engines You can use the URL Inspection Tool on Google Search Console to run a live test for the homepage and request indexing so that Google gets the updated data. Here is the URL Inspection Tool Tutorial - https://youtu.be/Pe_-TkdbXN0 Have you followed SEO best practices across the page?

Collaborada Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 @Kfed In this situation it is important to focus on a comprehensive plan and strategy rather than a checklist. The business has been around since 2005 and online since at least 2009 with hundreds of indexed URLs that needed analysis. The favicon will sort itself out as you tackle the key migration tasks. Google gives you a roadmap here: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/site-move-with-url-changes Don’t hesitate to seek professional assistance. The goal should be a smooth transition for your client.. Have SEO questions? Chances are we've written about it! Try a quick Google search to find our advice.
