Description
Sharing your website posts, pages, and products (for an e-commerce site) on social media helps you outreach a broader audience in little to no time. In general, Social requests or “scrapes” the URL shared by a user and fetches the data it displays from meta tags in the “head” section of the page. Since most content is shared on social media as a URL, marking up your website with snippets of codes called “Open Graph meta tags” is vital in terms of managing how your content shows up on Social Media.
DataCaptia is a modern effective tool that gives you excellent and top-notch performance in sharing your WordPress pages, posts, or WooCommerce products in a simple and hassle-free way. It enables you to choose to insert the “enclosure” and “media: content” tags, such as o.g: URL, o.g: type, o.g: title, etc.
DataCaptia also comes with various settings at your disposal to add open graph meta tags. You can select certain pages or posts on your WordPress website or even the products (if your site is a WooCommerce site) in order to add the basic and optional metadata. Moreover, there are also the options to choose and add default images for the product, page, or post, which will be helpful if the product/page or post doesn’t contain an image previously.
Plugins like DataCaptia is useful and handy for effective Social media marketing as well as search engine optimization. As Social media is one of the major drivers of most of the web’s traffic, you can easily increase the number of site visitors and conduct marketing in an efficient way by deploying a plugin like DataCaptia.
