FAQs

An OpenGraph meta tag is a snippet of HTML code that is added to the head section of a webpage to provide metadata to social media platforms about the content of the page.

An OpenGraph meta tag allows social media platforms to display rich media, such as images and videos, along with a title and description when a webpage is shared on their platform.

Add the meta code generated using Opengraphify in the head section of your webpage. This code will contain the relevant meta tags, such as og:title (which is the title of your webpage), og:description (which is a short summary of your webpage's content), and og:image (which is an image that represents your webpage).

The most important OpenGraph meta tags to include are og:title, og:description, and og:image. These tags provide the basic information that social media platforms need to display rich media when a webpage is shared.

You can test and validate your OpenGraph meta tags using free tools such as:

• Facebook Sharing Debugger
• Twitter Card Validator
• LinkedIn Post Inspector

These tools allow you to preview how your webpage will appear on social media platforms and make sure your metadata is correct.

While it's not strictly necessary to include OpenGraph meta tags on every page of your website, it's generally a good idea to include them on any page that you expect to be shared on social media platforms.

While OpenGraph meta tags don't directly affect your search engine rankings, they can indirectly improve them by encouraging more social media shares and driving more traffic to your website.

The recommended image size for the og:image tag is 1200 x 630 pixels. This size is optimized for social media platforms to display the image with the correct aspect ratio.

Yes, you can use multiple OpenGraph meta tags on a single webpage. In fact, it's recommended to include as many relevant OpenGraph meta tags as possible to provide social media platforms with as much information as possible about your content.

If you don't include OpenGraph meta tags on your webpage, social media platforms will still be able to display a link to your page, but they won't have access to the rich media and descriptive information that comes with the metadata provided by OpenGraph tags.

Yes, you can customize the title and description that appear on social media platforms when your webpage is shared by using the og:title and og:description tags. However, some social media platforms may still choose to display their own title and description based on their algorithms.

No, OpenGraph meta tags are not the only way to provide metadata to social media platforms. Some platforms, such as Twitter, use their own set of metadata tags, such as the Twitter Card tags, which provide similar functionality.
