Google has confirmed that the company is running a small experiment that adds favicons beside the URL in text ads.<\/p>\n

Darcy Burk, founder and CEO, Burk Digital Factory, wondered if what he was seeing was new. Here’s the screenshot he shared on Twitter of what he spotted on a Google search results page.<\/p>\n

\"A — Screenshot of Uber Eats Google Ad with favicon.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
At first glance, it looks like a pizza emoji. Even though emojis are listed as “invalided or unsupported characters,” according to Google’s Advertising policy help doc<\/a>, they have been spotted numerous times in ad URLs<\/a> in recent years.<\/p>\n
How did Uber Eats, an online food ordering and delivery platform, manage to get that pizza emoji in its Google Ad? Especially considering that the ad directly below has a generic favicon?<\/p>\n
Well, now we know. Because Burk received a reply<\/a> from Ginny Marvin, Google’s ads product liaison. And it isn’t an emoji — it’s a favicon.<\/p>\n
Marvin confirmed what Burk tweeted about is part of a small, ongoing test for advertisers. According to Marvin:<\/p>\n
Why we care.<\/strong> As Marvin noted, this is an interesting use of a visual element to catch the eye of searchers. This is one to watch to see if it becomes available to more, or even all, Google Ads advertisers in the future.<\/p>\n
