Website Logo Guide: Add and Customize your Site's Logo
A logo adds brand identity to your website header, replacing your page title while maintaining its SEO benefits. Here's how to add and customize your logo effectively:
Before You Begin:
- Set your page title first (it becomes alt text and helps with SEO)
- Prepare your logo in .jpg, .gif, or .png format
- Use larger images to avoid pixelation
- Consider using a transparent PNG background

Important Considerations:

For best results, ensure your logo is properly sized for your template and maintains clarity across all devices. Keep your page title in place even when using a logo to maintain SEO benefits.
