So what\u2019s the solution to this? Obviously, it\u2019s the Facebook Sharing Debugger tool.<\/p>\n
The Sharing Debugger tool lets you enter the URL of the page you are going to post on Facebook and shows you a preview of this post, including the title of the page, the header image, and a small description of the content.<\/a><\/p>\n Before we move on, if you need any kind of help with your digital marketing campaigns, you should definitely reach out to us. <\/span>Check out our team<\/span><\/a>. Let\u2019s talk.<\/span><\/p>\n So how to get started?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n To use the Sharing Debugger tool, you must first log in to Facebook with your Facebook developer account. Then visit the link https:\/\/developers.facebook.com\/tools\/debug\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n Now you have to enter the URL of the page you are going to post on Facebook and then click \u201cDebug\u201d. Once you click \u201cDebug\u201d, the tool displays a list of warnings (if any) and tags. Looking at these tags you can know how Facebook interprets your content. The warnings show the errors you have made in defining some of the tags. Take a look at the screenshot below.<\/p>\n All these warnings need not necessarily be fixed. This just points out what could be done to make the post more attractive, attain better click-through rates and more page views.<\/p>\n \u201dWhen and how we last scraped the URL\u201d section shows the Time Scraped, which is the last time since the URL was scraped. Facebook caches the images from the post and displays that image in the preview. This is scraping. So, if you made edits to your post and haven\u2019t pressed \u201cScrape Again\u201d, Facebook will continue to display the previously cashed preview, which doesn\u2019t include your edits.<\/p>\n You must press the \u201cScrape Again\u201d button to reset the cache. Once the cache is reset, Facebook displays the current preview of the post, with the latest made edits.<\/p>\n This section also displays how your content will look like when it is shared on Facebook. Always keep in mind to check the share preview so that you get the intended result.<\/p>\n Have a look at the screenshot below.<\/p>\n The Object Properties section displays information which is basically fetched using Open Graph (OG) meta-tags. These OG meta-tags, namely: URL, type, title, description, image, etc. must be properly defined. Only then Facebook can display the relevant preview of the site.\u00a0 So carefully go through all the assigned meta-tags and make the necessary edits. Here\u2019s a screenshot as an example.<\/p>\n Summary<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Facebook Sharing Debugger is a handy tool that is easy to use, even for people without much knowledge in coding. However, if you still don\u2019t get the intended preview of your post after following the above-mentioned steps, we would advise you to contact a website developer<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ( Image courtesy: Wikipedia )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Have you ever tried posting a link to Facebook, such as a link to a blog post, just to find out that the preview of the post is not accurately displayed?
