Open Graph Title PropertyRequired
og:title
The og:title tag defines the headline of your content as it appears in social media link previews. It is one of the four mandatory Open Graph properties required for Facebook, LinkedIn, Discord, and Slack.
Tag Syntax
property="og:title"Recommended Size / Limit40-60 characters
Protocol RequirementMandatory for OGP
HTML Code Example
<meta property="og:title" content="Open Graph Title Property Reference" />Best Practices
- •Keep titles between 40 and 60 characters to avoid truncation across mobile devices.
- •Exclude brand names if your site name is declared separately via og:site_name.
- •Use compelling, click-worthy titles optimized for social engagement rather than strict keyword density.
- •Ensure special characters are HTML-encoded (e.g. use & for &).
Platform Rendering Rules

Common Implementation Pitfalls
- ✕Using name="og:title" instead of property="og:title".
- ✕Duplicating og:title tags within the same HTML <head>.
- ✕Exceeding 80 characters, causing truncation on mobile screen layouts.
