This is the reason why Google has added favicons to all search results. They have done this to better mobile SEO marketing strategies.

These favicons which are introduced by Google will contain one or few icons associated with a certain website or page. A black ad label replaces the green ad label where the ads were previously displayed. The advertisement text appears below the ad labels. This differentiates the favicons and organic search results.
Each favicon is usually a square image measuring 16×16 pixels. They are used by search engines or web browsers like opera mini or Firefox to show representations of the site being visited. The favicons usually appear at the root directory of a website. Basically, if you bookmark a certain website or even added it to your home screen, a favicon for that website makes them spottable.
With the new look for search results intended by Google, favicons with their respective website names will display at the top of the results box.
