What can I do to successfully publish an OpenGraph image on LinkedIn using Webflow?

To successfully publish an OpenGraph image on LinkedIn using Webflow, follow these steps:

1. Set up OpenGraph tags: Go to your Webflow project and navigate to the Page Settings of the page where you want to set the OpenGraph image. Look for the "Custom Code" section and click on the "Head Code" tab. Here, you can add the OpenGraph meta tags that LinkedIn will use to display the image. Include the following code:

<meta property="og:image" content="https://your-image-url.jpg"><meta property="og:image:width" content="1200"><meta property="og:image:height" content="630">

Replace "https://your-image-url.jpg" with the URL of your desired OpenGraph image. The og:image:width and og:image:height tags define the aspect ratio of the image. LinkedIn recommends using a 1.91:1 ratio (1200 pixels by 630 pixels) for the best results.

1. Ensure the image is publicly accessible: LinkedIn requires the OpenGraph image to be publicly accessible. Make sure the image URL you provide is not restricted by any access permissions or authentication walls.

2. Optimize the image: To enhance the appearance of your OpenGraph image on LinkedIn, optimize it by following these SEO best practices:

• Use a high-resolution image: Higher resolution images look better when displayed on LinkedIn. Aim for images with a minimum width of 1200 pixels.
• Use a visually appealing image: Choose an image that accurately represents your content and catches the viewer's attention.
• Compress the image: Optimize the image file size without compromising quality to ensure fast loading times.
• Use descriptive text or overlays: Add relevant and striking text or overlays to the image to make it more engaging and informative.
• Test the image: Preview how your OpenGraph image will appear on LinkedIn using LinkedIn's Post Inspector tool (https://www.linkedin.com/post-inspector/).

1. Publish and check the OpenGraph image: Once you have set up the OpenGraph tags and optimized the image, publish your Webflow project. Then, share the URL of the page on LinkedIn to check if the OpenGraph image is being displayed correctly. If the image does not appear, you can use the LinkedIn Post Inspector tool mentioned earlier to troubleshoot any issues.

Following these steps will help you successfully publish an OpenGraph image on LinkedIn using Webflow, optimizing both the visibility and SEO performance of your content.
