Open Graph Tags for Better Social Previews

Set og:title, og:description, and og:image so shares look intentional. Sourcer’s SEO snapshot flags missing OG tags.

· Sourcer Editorial

Open Graph tags control how links look when shared on Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack, and many other apps. Sourcer’s SEO snapshot flags missing og: tags alongside classic meta fields in the Meta Tag Checker flow.

Minimum viable OG set

  • og:title — clear share headline (can differ slightly from the SEO title)
  • og:description — short benefit-led blurb
  • og:image — ideally ~1200×630, under a few hundred KB
  • og:url — the preferred share URL (align with your canonical)

Also configure Twitter

Many platforms fall back to OG, but X still benefits from explicit Twitter Card tags. Scan once, fix both.
