What Open Graph tags do
Open Graph and the related Twitter Card meta tags tell social platforms how to build the preview card for your URL. Without them, your link may show no image, a truncated title or the wrong text and get fewer clicks.
The tags that matter most
og:title- the headline on the card.og:description- the supporting line.og:image- the picture, around 1200x630px works best.og:urlandog:type- the canonical link and content type.
