Setting up social media meta tags in Webflow is vital for optimizing the way your content looks when shared on platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Meta tags enhance visibility, boost traffic, and improve user engagement by offering clear and attractive previews of your web pages. This guide walks you through the step-by-step process of embedding essential meta tags, ensuring your website stays aligned with social media best practices. From Open Graph tags for Facebook to Twitter Cards, discover how to make your content shine in the crowded social media world.
Head over to your Webflow dashboard and pick the project you want to set up social media meta tags for.
In your Webflow project dashboard, find and click the "Project Settings" button at the top.
Once you're in Project Settings, click on the "SEO" tab in the top navigation.
Here, you'll see spots to add global meta
tags. This is where you put general meta tags that cover default values for your site.
<meta name="description" content="Your default meta description here">
<meta property="og:type" content="website">
<meta property="og:url" content="https://yourwebsite.com">
<meta property="og:title" content="Your Website Title">
<meta property="og:description" content="Your website's description here">
<meta property="og:image" content="https://yourwebsite.com/your-image.jpg">
In the same SEO settings tab, scroll down until you find the area to insert custom code. This is where you can add specific meta tags for Facebook (Open Graph).
<!-- Facebook Meta Tags -->
<meta property="og:type" content="article">
<meta property="og:locale" content="en_US">
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="your_facebook_app_id">
Pop the Twitter Card meta tags into the custom code section to make sure your content looks great when shared on Twitter.
<!-- Twitter Card Meta Tags -->
<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image">
<meta name="twitter:site" content="@yourTwitterHandle">
<meta name="twitter:title" content="Your Page Title">
<meta name="twitter:description" content="Description for your page">
<meta name="twitter:image" content="https://yourwebsite.com/your-twitter-image.jpg">
After adding all the necessary meta tags, don't forget to save changes by clicking the “Save Changes” button at the bottom of the page.
To make sure the meta tags are live, go back to your project dashboard and click the "Publish" button. Confirm the publish action to push all changes live.
Once published, use tools like Facebook’s Sharing Debugger and Twitter’s Card Validator to check if your meta tags are working correctly. Just input your website URL in these tools to see how your meta tags are being interpreted by social media platforms.
Make sure the settings reflect the intended content and appearance for posts shared from your website.
