No, having a favicon does not directly impact your Shopify store's SEO ranking in Google Search. Google has stated that favicons are not a ranking factor. However, a well-designed and properly implemented favicon can indirectly contribute to SEO. It improves brand recognition and user experience, making your site appear more professional and trustworthy. If users recognize your favicon in search results, it might subtly increase click-through rates (CTR) by making your listing stand out, which is a positive signal to Google. So, while not a direct ranking factor, it's a small but important detail for overall online presence and user engagement.
