+
+## Favicon w Google + Organization (branding w wyszukiwarce)
+
+Favicon i structured data wpływają na to, jak strona wygląda w wynikach Google.
+Plugin generuje jedno i drugie z panelu — projekt tylko wpina w root layout.
+
+### Favicon — dlaczego się nie pokazywał
+
+Google ma twarde wymogi: `<link rel="icon">` w `<head>`, kwadratowy, **≥48×48px**,
+stały URL. Gdy projekt renderował favicon „po swojemu", często był za mały, źle
+otagowany albo nieobecny w head → Google go nie pokazywał. Plugin robi to teraz
+poprawnie.
+
+### Wpięcie favicon (root layout)
+
+Favicon jest GLOBALNY (ten sam wszędzie) — wpina się RAZ w root layout, nie per strona:
+
+```tsx
+// app/(frontend)/[locale]/layout.tsx
+import type { Metadata } from 'next'
+import { buildIconsMetadata } from '@intecion/ipal-kit'
+import { getSettings } from '@/lib/payload'
+
+export async function generateMetadata({ params }): Promise<Metadata> {
+  const { locale } = await params
+  const settings = await getSettings(locale)
+  return buildIconsMetadata(settings.favicon)   // z pola favicon (panel)
+}
+```
+
+`buildIconsMetadata` generuje poprawne `icons` (favicon + apple-touch) z pola
+favicon. SVG → skaluje się; PNG → powinien być ≥48×48 (walidacja ostrzega, patrz niżej).
+
+### Wymuszenie rozmiaru (walidacja)
+
+Pole favicon w SiteSettings ma walidację `validateFaviconField` — ostrzega
+redaktora przy zapisie, jeśli favicon jest <48×48 albo nie kwadratowy. Redaktor
+widzi ostrzeżenie, zamiast po cichu wgrać favicon, którego Google nie pokaże.
+
+### Organization JSON-LD (branding)
+
+Pomaga Google powiązać stronę z marką (nazwa, logo) — lepsze wyświetlanie w
+wynikach, logo w knowledge panel.
+
+```tsx
+// root layout — RAZ (Organization jest globalny)
+import { buildOrganizationJsonLd } from '@intecion/ipal-kit'
+
+const jsonLd = buildOrganizationJsonLd({
+  name: settings.siteName,
+  url: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SERVER_URL!,
+  logo: settings.logo,
+  sameAs: settings.socialLinks,   // opcjonalne: profile społecznościowe
+})
+
+// w JSX layoutu:
+<script
+  type="application/ld+json"
+  dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: JSON.stringify(jsonLd) }}
+/>
+```
+
+Dane z panelu (siteName, logo) — nic na sztywno.
+
+### Po wdrożeniu — cierpliwość z Google
+
+Google **cache'uje favicon osobno i wolno** (dni, czasem tygodnie). Po poprawnym
+wpięciu favicon nie pojawi się natychmiast — Googlebot musi ponownie odwiedzić
+stronę główną. Przyspieszenie: Search Console → prośba o ponowne indeksowanie
+strony głównej. Sprawdź też, czy `/` nie blokuje Googlebota (robots) i czy
+favicon URL jest publiczny (nie za auth).
+
+### Weryfikacja
+
+1. Otwórz stronę → DevTools → Elements → `<head>` → sprawdź `<link rel="icon">`
+   z poprawnym URL.
+2. Otwórz sam URL favicon w przeglądarce — obraz się pokazuje, ≥48×48.
+3. Rich Results Test (Google) — wklej URL strony, sprawdź Organization.
+4. Search Console → poproś o ponowne indeksowanie strony głównej.
