“Why I use Social sharing image and SEO” What are the benefits of using this for the store? I am seeking assistance with accurate information.
Social sharing images and SEO settings are useful because they control how your store appears when people find or share it online.
The social sharing image is usually the image that appears when someone shares your store link on platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, etc. Having a good branded image makes the shared link look more professional and can encourage more people to click it.
The SEO settings help search engines understand what your store/page is about. Things like the page title and meta description can also affect how your store appears in Google search results.
The main difference is where these settings are used:
Social sharing image controls the visual preview when your store URL is shared on platforms such as Facebook, LinkedIn, or WhatsApp. A relevant, branded image makes the link preview clearer and more professional.
SEO settings are mainly for search engines. Your SEO title and meta description help search engines understand the page and can influence how your page is presented in search results.
They don’t guarantee higher rankings or more clicks, but they help control how your store is represented in search and social previews. I would recommend setting both, especially for your homepage and important product, collection, and blog pages.
Thank you very much for your helpful answer.
