How to Control Your Social Media Link Display using your SEO Plugin

Social Media

If you don’t know how to do it, sharing your website or blog to Facebook and getting the right image or text snippet can feel a bit hit and miss. Actually, there is a really easy solution and most people already have this tool installed in their websites. It’s your SEO plugin and whether you’re using Yoast or All In One SEO, it doesn’t matter. Both have a Social Meta section you can enable, meaning you can control the link appearance on a per page or post basis, and do things list upload an image that is different from your featured image.

It’s much easier to show you a short video demonstration.
 

 
And if you’re still not getting the results you want, sometimes Facebook just needs a little nudge. You can force Facebook to re-scrape your site here.
