Page Description and Share Image settings.
Key Takeaways
- Page Description and Share Image (Open Graph settings) control how your page appears when shared.
- Social platforms display a title, description, and image preview—not just a URL.
- Set the Page Description in Page Settings: Keep under 155 characters; write it as a clear, compelling teaser.
- Set a default Share Image in Admin Tools → Settings → System → Entity Attributes → Page
- Recommended image specs: 1200 x 630 pixels, optimized file size (well under 8mb)
- Individual pages can override the default share image when needed.
- Use preview tools (e.g., link preview testers) to verify how pages display when shared.
Best Practices
- Write descriptions that highlight value and action (why someone should click).
- Use high-quality, relevant images that match the page content.
- Keep branding consistent across shared images.
- Optimize images for fast loading without sacrificing quality.
- Update share images for seasonal or promotional pages.
- Regularly check previews to ensure links display correctly across platforms.
