SEO Basics
Open Graph
Open Graph is a metadata protocol that controls how a page preview can appear when shared on social platforms and messaging apps.
What it means
Open Graph tags can define a Page title, description, image and content type for link previews. It is not a direct organic ranking system, but it affects how content is presented and clicked when shared.
Why it matters
It matters because better previews can improve trust, sharing and Referral traffic.
Example
A blog post can set an Open Graph image and description so the shared link looks clear in Facebook, LinkedIn or chat apps.
Common mistakes
Common mistakes include using missing images, duplicate preview titles or descriptions that do not match the page.
