SEO is one of the most important things a website can concentrate on other than it’s own content, because without it here isnt any good way of getting exposure. For a creative or designer which is mainly targeted for the ‘Make’ theme, it’s vital to have the SEO options because our websites tend to be image driven.
Facebook is a very important marketing tool for a lot of people and the way you can verify the way Facebok ‘scrapes’ or gatheres your website info for show is by checking your URL here https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object/ .
In trying to troubleshoot my SEO issues I verified the other websites that were being showcased with the ‘Make’ theme and realized they all had the same issues I did.
Inferred Property The ‘og:url’ property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
Inferred Property The ‘og:title’ property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
Inferred Property The ‘og:description’ property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
Inferred Property The ‘og:image’ property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
og:image could not be downloaded or is too small og:image was not defined, could not be downloaded or was not big enough. Please define a chosen image using the og:image metatag, and use an image that’s at least 200x200px and is accessible from Facebook. Image ‘[random available image]’ will be used instead.
I cant express how important it is to have the SEO options there for the graphically driven templates. They look great but their marketability is very poor through SEO functions.

Have you tried using a plugin for this? Yoast https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/ ?

Yep! I am using it and it helps immensely. I am using https://wordpress.org/plugins/nextgen-facebook/ though because it helps with everything. The only issue is to really be able to add everything I have to purchase pro.
I use the yoast version on one of my other websites- but it’s content driven already and doesnt have as difficult a time.
