Get read for social media

If you want to share your site or want it to be shared on any social network or app that utilizes rich previews, you’ll want that preview to be as effective as possible. This protocol allows you to control the preview when your page is shared across social media.

Open Graph

Why Social Media Previews Matter

LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram - your website link preview is like a digital visit card that everyone sees first, so it is essential to control its appearance.

Customizing Open Graph Previews with Vsble

With Vsble, you can customize how your website is previewed on social media when someone shares or posts your website address. Select your best image or change the preview and update it regularly with your most recent work so people can see your news at first glance.

Steps to Customize Your Open Graph Preview

  1. Default Settings: By default, your Open Graph image is empty. This means when someone shares your website link, there won’t be a designated preview image, which can make your link less engaging.

  2. Upload Your Image:

    • Go to the "Google & SEO" settings in your Vsble account.

    • Find the section beneath the website keywords.

    • Click on "Upload Image" to select the image you want to use for your social media preview.

    • After selecting the image, click "Save."

  3. Optimize for SEO:

    • While in the "Google & SEO" settings, ensure you add a compelling description, accurate website title, and relevant keywords. This will not only enhance your Open Graph preview but also improve your overall SEO.

Benefits of Customizing Open Graph Previews

  • Enhanced Engagement: An attractive and relevant preview image can significantly increase the chances of your link being clicked.

  • Brand Consistency: Maintain a consistent brand image across all social media platforms by controlling how your website is presented.

  • Up-to-Date Information: Regularly update your preview image with your latest work, offers, or important news to keep your audience informed and engaged.

By customizing your Open Graph settings, you ensure that your website makes a strong first impression, driving more traffic and engagement from social media platforms.
