Want your content to stand out when shared on social media? Open Graph tags help media publishers control how articles appear on platforms like Facebook and X. With the right tags, you can define the title, image, and description—making your links more clickable and engaging.

Media publishers should include Open Graph tags in their article's HTML to generate better previews of their content when shared on Facebook.

article:publisher lets a publisher link an article to their own Facebook page. When the article is shared in News Feed, a "like" button is displayed so people can like the publisher page.

<meta property="article:publisher" content="https://www.facebook.com/cnn" />

article:author lets a publisher link an article to the Facebook profile of the author. When the article is shared in News Feed, a "follow" button is displayed so people can follow the author. The author needs to have Follow activated on his or her profile for this button to appear.
