About Social Share Settings

Open graph (og) tags are used by social networks to display text and images when a page is shared. By default, the values you use in your SEO title tags and meta descriptions are used in your Social Share og:title and og:description.
You can customize the following Social Share settings: 
  • og:image: Choose an image that reflects the topic of the page. Use the preview to see how the image will look in your social share. 
  • og:title: Add a title that summarizes the content of the page. We recommend keeping the length below 80 characters or some of the title may be truncated. Use the preview to see how the title will look in your social share.
  • og:description: Add a short description of the content on the page. We recommend keeping the length below 300 characters or some of the description may be truncated. Use the preview to see how the description will look in your social share.
Important:
Each social media channel uses its own criteria to choose the best title, description, and image for the pages that get shared on it. While it's likely the information in your Social Share settings will be used, it's not guaranteed.
