SEO On-Page: Open Graph
Guides implementation of Open Graph meta tags for social media previews (Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack, Discord, etc.). Pages with proper OG tags get 2–3× more clicks than bare URL links.

Scope (Social Sharing)

The 4 Essential Tags
Every shareable page requires these minimum tags:
<meta property="og:title" content="Your Page Title">
<meta property="og:description" content="Your description">
<meta property="og:image" content="https://yourdomain.com/image.png">
<meta property="og:url" content="https://yourdomain.com/page">
| Tag | Guideline |
|---|
| og:title | Keep under 60 chars; compelling; match page content |
| og:description | 150–200 chars; conversion-focused |
| og:image | Absolute URL (https://); 1200×630px recommended |
| og:url | Canonical URL; deduplicates shares |
Recommended Additional Tags
| Tag | Purpose |
|---|
| og:type | Content type: website, article, video, product |
| og:site_name | Website name; displayed separately from title |
| og:image:width / og:image:height | Image dimensions (1200×630px) |
| og:image:alt | Alt text for accessibility |
| og:locale | Language/territory (e.g., en_US); for multilingual sites |
Image Best Practices
| Item | Guideline |
|---|
| Size | 1200×630px (1.91:1 ratio) for Facebook, LinkedIn, WhatsApp |
| Format | JPG, PNG, WebP; under 5MB |
| URL | Absolute URL with https://; no relative paths |
| Unique | One unique image per page when possible |
Common Mistakes
- Using relative image URLs instead of absolute https://
- Images too small or wrong aspect ratio
- Empty or placeholder values
- Missing og:url (canonical)
