Currently, the only meta data present on each webpage is a unique meta title and description. However, the website is missing Open Graph tags which is essential for social media sharing. This metadata would be used to generate the preview card when the URL is shared via social media. Without this information, social media sites may take a guess on what information to insert or they may be unable to find an image to use as the thumbnail. By providing OG tags, it may increase engagement, thus more traffic to the website.
The solution would be to provide the minimum required og tags for each page: title, image, url and description. There would be a unique image for each page and follow the recommended size of 1200px by 630px.
