FAQs

I updated my social sharing info, but it is still showing the old content and image on Facebook and elsewhere. What do I do?

Facebook and other websites cache information that is shared. You may need to use a refresh tool to refresh what Facebook is seeing and posting. Here is how to do so.

What are your recommended dimensions for images for my social media content and SEO settings?

We recommend using images that are 1200 Γ— 630 pixels for social media and SEO content.
