Troubleshooting social media sharing, Open Graph tags, and Twitter Card issues

Social & Open Graph Issues

Social media metadata determines how your content appears when shared on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and other platforms. Proper implementation improves click-through rates and brand presentation across social channels.

Why Social Metadata Matters

When users share your content on social platforms:

  • Open Graph tags control preview images, titles, and descriptions on Facebook, LinkedIn, and most platforms
  • Twitter Cards provide enhanced previews on Twitter/X
  • Pinterest Rich Pins display product and article metadata
  • Proper metadata increases engagement by 40-100% compared to default previews
