Social Media Content Display Guide

Getting content to display correctly when sharing links on social media requires proper setup of SEO elements and images. Here's what you need to know:

Essential Setup Tips

• Add SEO titles and descriptions to all pages and collection items (blog posts, products, events)
• Create an SEO site description representing your brand's main purpose
• Add appropriate images that you want displayed in social shares
• Ensure featured images are added to content you want to share on Pinterest

Troubleshooting Display Issues

Facebook:

Remember, while you can optimize your content, social platforms ultimately control how content appears in posts.
