Favicon Icon and actual site name is missing in search engines

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing with your favicon icon and site name not appearing in search engines. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:

1. Setting the Favicon

To ensure your favicon is set correctly, you can follow these steps:

• Navigate to WordPress Dashboard → Appearance → Customize → Site Identity.
• Here, you can upload your favicon under the Site Icon section.

If you have already done this, please ensure that you clear any caching on your site, including plugin and server-level caches. You can refer to this guide on clearing cache in WordPress.

2. Setting the Site Name

To set your site name correctly in Rank Math:

• Go to Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta → Local SEO.
• Fill in the required fields, especially the Website Name and ensure that the Schema module is enabled in Rank Math SEO settings.

3. Request Google to Reindex Your Site

After making these changes, it may take some time for search engines to reflect them. You can expedite this process by requesting Google to reindex your homepage through the Google Search Console. Enter your homepage URL and click on REQUEST INDEXING.

4. Check Google’s Guidelines

Make sure you are following Google’s guidelines for favicons and site names in search results.
