Over the years, Google has made the life of marketers very challenging by constantly changing the goal posts. However, when we think about it from the perspective of a person doing a search, their updates make sense. As searchers, we want to get the results that we want which are most relevant to our keywords. More than that, we want Google to read our minds and provide us for search results that we need, which may be even more refined than the keywords that we have entered.

This latest update promotes the starts with promoting the brand for the website first in the results listing, showing the logo and URL before the name of the site. This will make it easier for searchers to browse through results to find a familiar brand. This also enables business owners to promote their brand and increase awareness.

As with all Google updates, website owners will soon scramble to make sure they have set their logo properly for their website. However, this logo icon, known as "favicon", was important for SEO (search engine optimization) much before this latest change. Your logo icon already appears in various locations, including the tab of the web browser.

Watch this Google update roll out in the next few days, on mobile first. Make sure your website is set up to show your logo!
