Page titles on social media posts

When I post blog pages on social media, it seems to ignore the SEO title and give me “Blog title - article - website name” like this down below. Happens on both X and Bluesky.

Anyone know how I can get it to display JUST the title of the page? Hopefully a site-wide solution?

Hi @ scottdagostino !! It looks like social platforms are just pulling your page <title> tag, which is why you’re seeing “Blog title – article – website name”. To fix it you’ll want to add Open Graph (OG) meta tags so X, Bluesky, Facebook, etc. use those instead.

For example, in your <head> add:

<meta property="og:type" content="article">
<meta property="og:title" content="{{page.title}}">
<meta property="og:description" content="{{page.description}}">
<meta property="og:image" content="{{page.featured_image}}">
<meta property="og:url" content="{{page.url}}">

And since X (formerly Twitter) still relies on Twitter Card tags for previews, it’s good to include these too:

<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image">
<meta name="twitter:title" content="{{page.title}}">
<meta name="twitter:description" content="{{page.description}}">
<meta name="twitter:image" content="{{page.featured_image}}">

If you add these in Website Settings → SEO → Meta tags in Sitejet, they’ll pull the correct info from each page automatically — so the share preview just shows the clean article title (without the extra “– website name”).

:backhand_index_pointing_right: After publishing, test your links here:

  • Facebook Sharing Debugger

  • X Card Validator

Just wondering: Does X still offer the validator for free? And does Bluesky have a similar debugger like Facebook?

Hi @Andre, hope you are doing well !

Yes, X (formerly Twitter) still offers the free Card Validator to preview how links appear when shared. As for Bluesky, they currently don’t provide a dedicated link debugger like Facebook or Twitter.

Tip: If you want to test your Open Graph tags more broadly, you can also use free third-party testers such as opengraph.dev, metatags.io, or heymeta.com — they’re handy to see how your pages render across different platforms.

These Social network sites rely on Open Graphs and Twitter cards, specially for the Twitter. You have not mentioned, on which platform you have hosted your blog, if it is WordPress then you can use RankMath SEO plugin, you will get to see OG option. You can manually write title and descriptions for social media along with a feature image.

Since this is the Sitejet community, I think I know the answer :smiley:
