Have your website provider correct its Open Graph tags and any crawler access fault. Run the repaired URL through the debugger again, then check a fresh sharing preview and the page's buyer or seller contact route. Meta documents the debugger as a preview and Open Graph diagnostic tool that can trigger a fresh scrape. [Meta's Sharing Debugger](https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/), [Meta's webmaster guide](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/webmasters/), checked 2026.10.14. Start with the page you intend people to visit. For a seller-service share, inspect that seller page. For a buyer guide, inspect the guide and its inquiry destination. Use the workflow below as a repair brief and acceptance checklist for your own website. ## Inspect the exact link before changing anything Copy the complete address from the problem share. Keep it beside the intended page address and a screenshot of the faulty preview. Note whether the problem is a missing image, an old image, incorrect wording, or the wrong destination. Open the copied address without signing into your website. Follow any redirect and compare the resulting page with the share's intended subject. If you planned to share a seller page, require the destination to explain your seller service. Meta's public debugger page requires a Facebook login to use the tool. In your own account, enter the affected website URL. Meta says the results show scraped tags, errors, and warnings. Save the returned information before requesting repairs. [Sharing Debugger](https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/), [Meta's markup testing instructions](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/webmasters/#testing). [Meta's markup testing instructions](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/webmasters/), checked 2026.10.14. [Sharing Debugger](https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/), checked 2026.10.14. Ask your provider to compare the submitted URL, final destination, and reported Open Graph URL. Keep tracking parameters visible in the test record. Do not change the page address merely to hide a preview problem. ## Give each shared page its own Open Graph values Open Graph metadata uses tags in the page's HTML head. The protocol defines `og:title`, `og:type`, `og:image`, and `og:url` as required properties. It also defines optional description and site-name fields. [Open Graph protocol](https://ogp.me/), checked 2026.10.14. Ask your provider to inspect the returned HTML for the affected page. Use these proposed requirements to review the values. | Field | What to approve for your agent website | | --- | --- | | `og:title` | A title that names this page's subject and matches its visible answer | | `og:description` | A factual summary of the service or information available on this page | | `og:image` | The address of the approved preview image for this subject | | `og:url` | This page's intended permanent address | | `og:type` | The content type selected for this page, such as website or article | | `og:site_name` | Your current business identity, if supplied | The protocol defines `og:url` as the object's permanent identity. Meta recommends an undecorated canonical address without user-identifying or session parameters. [Open Graph URL definition](https://ogp.me/#metadata), [Meta's basic-tag guidance](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/webmasters/#basic). [Meta's basic-tag guidance](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/webmasters/), checked 2026.10.14. [Open Graph URL definition](https://ogp.me/), checked 2026.10.14. For your repair brief, require a seller page to retain its own address rather than using the homepage value. Apply the same check to buyer guides and neighborhood pages. Compare the values with the visible content before approving them. If the source contains conflicting image tags, ask which template or plugin supplies each value. Open Graph permits multiple images and gives the first value preference during conflicts. Require the provider to explain the intended order. [Open Graph array rules](https://ogp.me/#array). ## Check a missing image before replacing the page Meta recommends preview images of at least 1200 × 630 pixels for high-resolution displays. Its documented minimum is 200 × 200 pixels, and the image file must not exceed 8 MB. [Meta's image requirements](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/webmasters/images/#requirements), checked 2026.10.14. Ask the provider to compare the actual file with those requirements. Open the exact `og:image` address separately. Check that it returns the approved image without an account or access challenge. If it fails, include that address in the repair request. Meta also documents image width and height tags for initial rendering and recommends inspecting the image URL itself in Sharing Debugger when troubleshooting. [Meta's image pre-caching and troubleshooting guidance](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/webmasters/images/). [Meta's image pre-caching and troubleshooting guidance](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/webmasters/images/#requirements), checked 2026.10.14. Approve an image that fits the page's subject and that you have permission to use. For a service page, consider approved business imagery. For a property page, confirm the photograph's permission and current context. Check the resulting crop before sharing it. ## Separate stale page information from a stale image First, have the provider publish the corrected page metadata through your normal website process. If your hosting setup uses a page cache, request confirmation that the affected response now contains the approved values. Run the same page URL through Sharing Debugger again. Meta says the debugger triggers a scrape that can update its view of repaired HTML. Compare the returned title, description, and image address with your approved values. [Meta's testing guidance](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/webmasters/#testing). [Meta's testing guidance](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/webmasters/), checked 2026.10.14. For a replaced image, request a new image URL. Meta caches images by their URLs and says replacing a file at the same URL will not update the cached image. It also advises retaining old images because existing stories may reference them. [Meta's image update guidance](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/webmasters/images/#updatingimages). [Meta's image update guidance](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/webmasters/images/#requirements), checked 2026.10.14. Keep the website page address stable during this image repair. Change the image address in its metadata, then reinspect the page. Record both image addresses so the provider can explain the change. Meta says updating an image does not automatically update previews for old shares. Review an existing share separately from a fresh preview. Keep a stale old post open as its own issue. [Meta's old-share limitation](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/webmasters/images/#updatingimages). [Meta's old-share limitation](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/webmasters/images/#requirements), checked 2026.10.14. ## Investigate crawler access when the metadata looks correct Meta's FacebookExternalHit crawler fetches shared links and caches their titles, descriptions, and thumbnails. Meta provides a crawler request simulation and requires content to be available promptly. [Meta's crawler documentation](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/webmasters/crawler/), checked 2026.10.14. Ask your provider to compare an ordinary visitor response with a simulated crawler response. Request the returned status, final address, and metadata. Include the image request in that check. If the responses differ, ask the provider to inspect the relevant access rules and request logs. Name the observed failure before selecting a repair. Keep any access change limited to the intended public content. Use this table to organize the investigation. These are proposed checks, not conclusions about your website. | Observed problem | Next evidence to request | | --- | --- | | Preview names another page | Final destination and this page's `og:url` and title | | Title remains old after editing | Returned HTML and the debugger result after a fresh scrape | | Image remains old | Current `og:image` value and whether the replacement has a new address | | No image appears | Image response, file dimensions, size, and debugger errors | | Page works for you but scraping fails | Ordinary and crawler responses, plus matching access logs | | Fresh preview works but an old share differs | Separate screenshots and addresses for each share | ## Follow the preview through to a received inquiry After the debugger reflects the intended page, inspect a fresh Facebook sharing preview before publishing. Compare its visible wording and crop with the page. Save the date and a screenshot. Then open the exact website destination on a phone. Check that the page answers the question suggested by the preview. Require the buyer or seller next step to remain visible and understandable. For a buyer guide, follow the contact route for buyer representation. For a seller page, follow the seller request. Use details you control and a clearly labeled test message with the receiving person's agreement. Save the submission confirmation and find the matching inquiry in the agreed destination. Compare the question and reply details with what you entered. Keep a missing or misdirected message open until a repeat test reaches the intended recipient. Record the page URL, preview evidence, device, test label, expected recipient, and receipt. Treat the preview check and the delivery check as separate acceptance results. Repeat affected checks after changing the template, image, form, or receiving destination. ## Scope the Facebook preview repair The share-preview record identifies the faulty URL, debugger response, and approved replacement image.
