Customise Shared Social Media Links for Square Online Sites
When someone shares a link to your Square Online site on Facebook or X (formerly Twitter), the appearance of the link is determined by the platform that you’re sharing the link on. You can change the image and text that appear when a page of your site is shared using the social settings in Square Online.
Note: Changes to social media previews and SEO information can take time to appear in social media and search engine results.
Shared Links for Your Entire Site
To update shared social links for your website:
From your Square Online Overview page, go to Website > SEO.
Under Social Media, select Update social media.
In the pop-up window, select the Social tab.
Update the preview image, title and description that appear when you share the link to your homepage on Facebook or X.
Publish your site from the Square Online site editor to see the changes live.
Note: Updating your shared social links from the Overview page will update the settings for your site’s homepage in the site editor.
Shared Links for Individual Pages
To update shared social links for your webpages:
From your Square Online site editor, open up a page of your choice.
Select the gear icon in the editing panel to View page settings.

Social Link Options
When updating your shared social media links for your website or webpages, you’ll be able to add a custom image that’ll be shown when the page is shared on Facebook or X. Choose and upload an image from your device or simply drag an image file directly into the box to start uploading.
You can also review the social preview to check it out after adding your image. If you want to remove the image or upload a different one, select Delete to remove your image and upload a new one using the same method.
Finally, add a custom link title and description for your site or page, or choose to use the existing title and description from your SEO settings. For information on updating SEO, check out how to optimise your website pages in Square Online.
