Findings

  • Brand name differs across channels — users see inconsistent identity
  • No social share image — shared links render as bare URLs
  • og:image missing
  • Organization schema missing logo — add a logo property pointing to a square PNG
  • Organization schema missing url — point it at the canonical homepage
  • Consider adding contactPoint — helps appear in "contact us" rich results
  • Only partial contact info discoverable — consider adding a dedicated contact page or mailto/tel link

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

REVIEW
Open Graph tags are partially configured — some improvements recommended.
Warning::
Missing og:image
The og:image tag provides a preview image for social sharing.
Info::
Missing og:type
The og:type tag helps social platforms categorize the content.

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.

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.

Warning::
Missing required property "name" for Organization
The "name" property is required for the Organization schema type.
Info::
Missing recommended property "url" for Organization
Adding "url" can improve how search engines display your content.
Info::
Missing recommended property "logo" for Organization
Adding "logo" can improve how search engines display your content.
Info::
Missing recommended property "sameAs" for Organization
Adding "sameAs" can improve how search engines display your content.

The "name" property is required for the Organization schema type.

Why this matters

Schema markup missing required properties is silently rejected by Google — your structured data appears in source but never as a rich result.

Learn more ▾

Each schema.org type has required properties (Article needs headline + author + datePublished; Product needs name + offers; etc.). Missing them means Google's rich-result eligibility check fails. The Search Console Rich Results Test surfaces specific gaps. Fix the missing property; rich results re-appear within hours.

Adding "url" can improve how search engines display your content.

Why this matters

Recommended schema properties unlock richer SERP layouts — without them you get the basic rich result instead of the enhanced one.

Learn more ▾

Recommended properties expand what Google can render. E.g., adding aggregateRating to Product unlocks star ratings; adding image to Article unlocks the image-card variant. Each recommended property is a direct SERP-real-estate gain.
