4 Components of Facebook Links

If you write good articles that your Facebook friends would be interested in reading, it makes sense to post them to you Facebook account.  The link feature of Facebook is very simple and straight forward with few options, but you can control the information that appears in the link.

Here’s the information and how our real estate websites make it easy for you to control it:

1. Page Title

The same title that shows up in the bar at the very top of your browser - the one you click to drag the window around the screen.

When you publish a new page, we use your headline to make the page title. That way it’s relevant.

2. Page URL

The URL is what shows up in the address bar (it's selected when you press ALT D)

We use your headline again in the URL.  We also add the category or parent page if it has one.

3. Meta Description

The meta description isn't displayed on screen but it describes the webpage to search engines and other webpages

A relevant meta description is generated for each page you publish based on the content you add.

4. Images

Facebook scans the webpage for images and allows the user to select the one they want.  Your photo, your company logo & the image you included in the post will all show up as options.  We make it really easy for you to add a photo to an article; you don’t even have to have it on your computer.  You can include any photo on the web (assuming you own it or have permission).
