How to Control Social Sharing for Your Website

When your website or individual pages are shared on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or LinkedIn, you can customize how they appear with a title, description, and thumbnail image. The Social Sharing settings allow you to control this on a site-wide and page-specific level.

1. Setting Up Social Sharing for Your Entire Website

1. Open the CMS Dashboard.
2. Click on Project Settings.
3. Select the Sharing tab at the top.
4. Add the following:

• Title – The default status message when someone shares your site.
• Description – A brief message (max 280 characters) that appears under the title.
• Thumbnail Image – The preview image that will appear in social media posts.

Why is This Important?

✔ Ensures your website looks professional when shared.

✔ Increases click-through rates with an eye-catching thumbnail.

✔ Keeps branding consistent across all platforms.

2. Customizing Social Sharing for Individual Pages

1. Open the CMS Dashboard.
2. Click on Pages and select a specific page.
3. Click Social at the top.
4. Add:

• Alternate Sharing Image – A unique image for this specific page.
• Custom Title & Description – Override the global sharing settings for this page.

Example:

• Your homepage might have a brand logo as its thumbnail.
• A blog post might have a feature image specific to that article.

3. How Social Sharing & SEO Work Together

The Title & Description you set for SEO will automatically link to your social sharing settings, ensuring that search engines and social media display consistent information.

4. Why Use Social Sharing Settings?
