What is the Open Graph Tag Generator?

The Open Graph Tag Generator is a powerful tool that helps website owners, marketers, and developers create optimized meta tags for their web pages. These tags control how your content appears when shared on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and more.

Why Open Graph Tags Matter

When someone shares your website on social media, these platforms look for Open Graph meta tags to determine what information to display. Without proper OG tags, social platforms might use incorrect images, titles, or descriptions that don't represent your content well. Properly configured Open Graph tags can:

  • Increase click-through rates on shared links
  • Improve your content's visual appeal on social media
  • Provide consistent branding across platforms
  • Boost social engagement metrics
  • Help control your brand's narrative on social channels

  1. Use a plugin: Plugins like Yoast SEO, All in One SEO, or RankMath can manage Open Graph tags for you.
  2. Add to your theme: Copy the generated code and paste it into your theme's header.php file between the <head> tags.
  3. Use a custom HTML block: If you're using a page builder, you can add the tags using a custom HTML block in the header section.
