Customise Shared Social Media Links for Square Online Sites

When someone shares a link to your Square Online site on Facebook or Twitter, the appearance of the link is determined by the platform 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.

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 Twitter. 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.
