Question 1

What are Open Graph meta tags?

Accepted Answer

Open Graph (OG) tags are HTML meta tags used by Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack, Discord and other social platforms to control how your page appears when shared — title, description, image and URL.

Question 2

Are OG tags important for SEO?

Accepted Answer

Yes. OG tags don't directly affect Google ranking, but they control the rich preview shown when your content is shared on social media, which dramatically increases click-through rates and traffic.

Question 3

What's the recommended OG image size?

Accepted Answer

Use 1200x630 pixels (1.91:1 ratio) for best display on Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. Smaller images get cropped or rejected. JPG or PNG, kept under 8 MB.

Question 4

Do OG tags work for Twitter too?

Accepted Answer

Twitter falls back to Open Graph tags when Twitter Card tags are not present. For best Twitter support, also add twitter:card, twitter:title, twitter:description and twitter:image.
