Image displayed in google search

    Some time ago I realized that one of the images on the home page has been displayed in search of my website available, however I didn’t choose this image to appear there, it was loaded automatically. I would like to know if there is a possibility to define which image to put there, as I saw that on other sites they managed to put their logo.

    I already defined a highlighted image on the home page, I already checked alternative texts, but I don’t know how to replace that image, I realized that it only appears on mobile devices, both Android and iOS, but it is still not the image I want.

    And to make matters worse, I don’t even know which category of this image to research more on the subject and see how to correctly define this image.

    To facilitate the visualization of the image, I shared a folder on one drive with prints of what is happening

    Exibition in Chrome

    Concurrent with their logo

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    Could you make sure you have a featured image set in those pages? Since usually Google takes the featured image to be displayed like it and if not, it takes the website logo you set.

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

    Hello!
    No problem, it didn’t cause me any problems, I have a highlighted image on the home page, but I use the Astra theme, and so that it doesn’t appear at the top of the page, I disabled the display of the highlighted image, but it is there.

    Could it be that? Should I request a new indexing to google? I cleared the page’s cache, but it still displays the same image there.

    Hello,

    If you google your site as site:yoursite.com.br then navigate to images, you will note your images are indexed including your logo. Google seems to pick the first image that is appearing on your homepage front end, in this case the avatar image. You can add a logo beside your sitename to make it the first image that Google can pick from your page then request URL indexing.

    Hope that helps. If you have any further question(s), please let us know. Thank you.

    I thought it was something in that sense, but that is not the first image on the front end of my site, there are at least four others before, would you know to tell me what is the name of that type of image / icon so that I can carry out a deeper search and learn how to change?

    Hello,

    Could you share (in the Sensitive Data section) one of the affected posts so we can check it and maybe tell you more information about it?

    Looking forward to help you.

    Course, I will make the user and password data available in the sensitive area for you to access the dashboard of my website.

    The page with the indexed image is the main one, its title is: Escriva de Paz do Boa Vista.

    Hello,

    I checked your settings and everything seems fine. Also, I checked the mobile version on several devices and I didn’t get that image (I used this website: https://mobilemoxie.com/tools/mobile-serp-test/). Could you check if the issue is solved?

    Looking forward to help you.

    Hello, I did the tests on the platform you presented me with, the images are not loaded on it. I changed the header of my site so that the first image is my logo, I believe that sometime google will index it, I manually changed the images so that they would not receive index from google. I believe that in some time the image will be replaced.
