What are Open Graph tags and how to use them to increase conversions in social media?

Social media is a significant marketing channel for big and small companies. The key to gaining customers from them is to create beautiful, engaging content. Open Graph tags, which determine the appearance of the posts you share, are very beneficial in this regard.


Proper use of Open Graph tags improves the appearance and reach of your posts, resulting in better click-through rates (CTR) and conversions!


In this tutorial, you will learn how to use them correctly!

What are Open Graph Meta Tags?

Open Graph Meta Tags (or OG Meta Tags) are meta tags dedicated to social media. They're code snippets that define how you want your page to look when shared on social media. Initially, they were only available on Facebook, but other portals now have their tags.

 

In BOWWE you can add unique OG tags dedicated to any social media.
