Why are Facebook and Twitter not picking up the correct image from the specified link on the Webflow SEO page? Is there an issue with the integration or am I missing something?

TL;DR
  • Verify Open Graph tags and ensure the image URL is correctly specified, publicly accessible, and free from syntax errors.
  • Enable Twitter Cards with proper meta tags and ensure images meet dimensions required by Twitter.
  • Use Facebook Debugger and Twitter Card Validator tools to refresh cache and verify metadata accuracy.
  • Clear cache and republish the site to ensure metadata is up to date, checking results in incognito mode if needed.

Facebook and Twitter may not pick up the correct image if there are issues with Open Graph tags or Twitter Card metadata on your Webflow page. Let's look into resolving this.

​

1. Verify Open Graph Tags

  • Go to your Webflow Project Settings. Ensure that the Open Graph image field is correctly specified under SEO Settings.
  • Confirm that the image URL is correct and publicly accessible. If it's pointing to a Webflow-hosted asset, ensure the image is published.
  • Check for any extra spaces or incorrect syntax within the Open Graph tags in the page's custom code section.

​

2. Review Twitter Card Metadata

  • Enable Twitter Cards by including the proper meta tags in your page header. Verify that the twitter:image tag points to the correct image.
  • Confirm the image dimensions meet Twitter’s requirements (min. 120x120 px).

​

3. Use Debugging Tools

  • Use Facebook Debugger: Go to the Facebook Sharing Debugger and enter your page URL. Click on “Scrape Again” to refresh Facebook's cache.
  • Use Twitter Card Validator: Visit the Twitter Card Validator and input your URL. This will show if the Twitter Cards fetch the correct image and related data.

​

4. Cache Issues

  • Sometimes, clear cache and republish the site to ensure the updated metadata is live. Webflow caches updates, and external platforms might be seeing old data.
  • Double-check using incognito mode to ensure that changes appear correctly in a browser without previous cache.

​

Summary

Ensuring the correct image is picked up by Facebook and Twitter involves verifying that your Open Graph and Twitter Card tags are correctly configured and pointing to the right image files. Utilize available debugging tools to identify issues and clear cache if needed to display updated metadata.
