Fix Favicon error not displaying on Bing Search

There are several potential reasons why your Favicon is not showing up on Bing Search. Below are some steps you can take to fix the problem.

If you have done everything correctly. In Google or Yandex, Favicon is displayed. Only Bing does not display it, so you should contact Bing support. This method 100% can fix the problem within 24 hours.

Check Favicon format

I don't know if this is correct, but excess is better than deficiency. Bing only supports formats ICO for Favicon size from 16x16 pixels above. You can use an online image converter to convert images to ICO format if necessary.

As for me, I use plugins Favicon by RealFaviconGenerator to create standard Favicon for all devices.

Your favicon must be located at the root of your website. You can check your Favicon location by visiting https://your-domain.com/favicon.ico on the browser.

Card <link> HTML must be added to the section <head> of your website to point to the Favicon file.

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico">

Contact Bing support
