Brand Presence

Your brand name differs across channels — visitors see inconsistent identity.

Findings

  • Brand name differs across channels — users see inconsistent identity
  • No social share image — shared links render as bare URLs
  • Single favicon only — add apple-touch-icon for iOS home-screen and high-DPI support
  • og:image missing
  • No Organization schema — Google can't render your logo in the knowledge panel
  • No discoverable contact info — trust signal is weak, legal risk is higher in regulated regions

How consistently your brand appears across channels — shared link previews, structured data, favicon, contact info.

Warning::
Missing og:image
The og:image tag provides a preview image for social sharing.
Info::
og:title is long (71 characters)
Titles over 60 characters may be truncated in social sharing previews.
Got: 71 chars Expected: 25–60 chars
Info::
Missing og:type
The og:type tag helps social platforms categorize the content.
Info::
Missing og:site_name
The og:site_name tag displays the website name in social previews.

The og:image tag provides a preview image for social sharing.

Why this matters

No og:image means social shares are imageless — measurably less engaging than image-cards across every major platform.

Learn more

Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn all use og:image (or twitter:image as a fallback) for share-card thumbnails. Without one, the post renders as a text-only card. A 1200x630px image (Twitter's preferred size) covers all platforms.

URL: 71 chars

Titles over 60 characters may be truncated in social sharing previews.

Expected: 25–60 chars
Why this matters

og:title borderline-too-long — Facebook/LinkedIn may truncate. Aim for ~60-70 characters max.

Source: Open Graph Protocol

The og:type tag helps social platforms categorize the content.

Why this matters

Default og:type is 'website' but the right value (article, product, profile) unlocks richer metadata fields and higher engagement.

Learn more

og:type controls which other og: fields a platform respects. og:type=article enables og:article:published_time, author, and section — surfaced in news cards. og:type=product enables price/availability fields surfaced by Pinterest and shopping integrations. Default 'website' silently disables those.

Source: Open Graph Protocol

The og:site_name tag displays the website name in social previews.

Why this matters

Without og:site_name, social cards omit the brand attribution — users see the post but not who published it.

Learn more

og:site_name appears in the social card chrome (above the title in Facebook/LinkedIn previews). Without it, posts read as anonymous URLs. Set it to your brand name to get free attribution on every share.

Adding structured data helps search engines understand your content and can enable rich results.

Adding structured data helps search engines understand your content and can enable rich results.

Why this matters

Without schema.org markup, your pages can't appear as rich results (stars, FAQs, recipes) in search.

Learn more

Structured data is what unlocks rich snippets — review stars, FAQ accordions, recipe cards, breadcrumbs, etc. — that take up more SERP space and dramatically improve click-through. The schema.org vocabulary is well-documented and JSON-LD is the easiest format.

  • Product — e-commerce product pages
  • BreadcrumbList — navigation paths
