When you share a link on social media, the platform scrapes your website to generate a preview card containing a title, description, and image. If you don't have the correct meta tags, your link will look unprofessional and broken.
Open Graph Protocol
Created by Facebook, the Open Graph Protocol is now the industry standard for social media metadata. By adding to your , you control exactly what users see.
Twitter Cards
Twitter has its own proprietary meta tags (e.g., twitter:card), though it will fall back to Open Graph if Twitter tags are missing. It's best practice to include both to ensure optimal formatting.
The Easy Way to Generate Tags
Writing these tags manually is tedious and error-prone. Instead, use our Meta Tag Generator to instantly create perfectly formatted HTML tags for your site. Once generated, you can test your URLs using the Facebook Sharing Debugger to ensure everything renders perfectly.
