Why isn't Facebook recognizing my OG tags?

Working on a site that contains OpenGraph tags. However, when trying to share one of those pages, the Facebook preview isn't populating properly:

For example: https://www.hkinsurance.com/2018/03/noise-reduction-restaurant/

OG Tags:

 <meta property="og:locale" content="en_US"/>
 <meta property="og:site_name" content="H&amp;K Insurance"/>
 <meta property="og:title" content="Noise Reduction for Your Restaurant - H&amp;K Insurance"/>
 <meta property="og:url" content="https://www.hkinsurance.com/2018/03/noise-reduction-restaurant/"/>
 <meta property="og:type" content="article"/>
 <meta property="og:description" content="Reducing noise is key to maintaining ambiance in your restaurant. Learn about noise reduction techniques on our blog. Call 617-612-6515 to evaluate your insurance coverages."/>

After a lot of confusion, I discovered that my file was in UTF-16 format, not UTF-8. As soon as I converted it, everything worked.

You need to enter your page url and click Scrape Again button in the next page. https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/

If this doesn't help maybe you don't have property requirements for og tags.

  • Check out this: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/best-practices

  • For og:image if you changed image for same url, sometimes facebook caching the image and Scrape button doesn't work. You have two options: wait until facebook cleans its cache or change image name and og:image propery path for the new image and Scrape Again.
