Add Open Graph Tags to Control How Your Content Appears on Social Media

Metadata Analyzer

What is this warning?

When your page is shared on social media platforms like Facebook, the platform has to guess which title, description, and image to show. By adding Open Graph (OG) tags, you can tell them exactly what to display. This ensures your content looks great and is more likely to be clicked on when shared.

How to Fix This Issue

How to Fix It

The Problem

No `<meta property="og:...">` tags are present in the HTML <head>.

The Solution

Add the core Open Graph tags to the <head> of your page, specifying the title, type, URL, and image for social sharing.

<meta property="og:title" content="Your Page Title for Social Media">
<meta property="og:type" content="website">
<meta property="og:url" content="https://example.com/page">
<meta property="og:image" content="https://example.com/image-for-sharing.jpg">

Why This Works

Open Graph tags give you control over your brand's presentation on social media, leading to more engaging and professional-looking shares, which can drive more traffic to your site.
