Hey @Eyeappealdesign,
Thanks for reaching out!
Yoast SEO is a popular SEO plugin that also provides options to optimize your content for social media platforms like Facebook. Here’s how you can use Yoast SEO to control the appearance of your links on Facebook:
- Open Graph Tags: Yoast SEO automatically adds Open Graph meta tags to your WordPress site, allowing you to customize the title, description, and image that Facebook displays when someone shares your link. To do this, navigate to the “Social” tab in the Yoast SEO meta box on your post/page editor. From there, you can set a specific image for Facebook sharing under the “Facebook image” option.
- Social Preview: Yoast SEO provides a social preview feature that allows you to see how your link will appear on Facebook and other social media platforms. It enables you to customize the title, description, and image specifically for social sharing without affecting the post’s regular title and meta description. You can find the social preview section below the content editor on your post/page.
- Facebook Debugging: Yoast SEO also offers an option to “See exactly what Facebook will see” for your link. This feature takes you to the Facebook Sharing Debugger tool mentioned earlier, which allows you to scrape your URL again and see the latest data Facebook has for your link.
Apart from Yoast SEO, there are other plugins available that can help you with Open Graph tags and social media optimization. Some notable ones include:
- All in One SEO Pack: Similar to Yoast SEO, this plugin also offers Open Graph settings to control how your content appears on social media platforms.
- Rank Math: Another comprehensive SEO plugin that includes social media optimization features, including Open Graph settings.
- Jetpack by WordPress.com: This multifunctional plugin has a module called “Sharing” that allows you to configure social sharing settings, including customizing the image and description for Facebook sharing.
These plugins can significantly enhance your control over how your links are presented on Facebook and other social media platforms, making your content more engaging and shareable. Choose the one that best fits your needs and preferences.
Hope that helps.
