Question 1

What meta tags do I actually need?

Accepted Answer

At minimum: a unique title tag (~50-60 chars), a meta description (~150-160 chars), a canonical link, and Open Graph tags (og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url) plus a twitter:card. These control how Google, social platforms, and AI search render and understand your page.

Question 2

Why does my link look broken when shared on social media?

Accepted Answer

Usually because the page is missing Open Graph tags (og:title, og:description, og:image) or the og:image URL is relative or too small. Social platforms and chat apps read those tags to build the preview card. Add absolute-URL OG tags and a 1200x630 image.

Question 3

Do meta tags help with AI search?

Accepted Answer

Yes, indirectly. A clear title and description help AI engines summarize and attribute your page correctly. They are part of the same crawlable-and-classifiable foundation as structured data and a clean robots.txt.
