Twitter Card Settings

Optimize your content for sharing on Twitter by configuring Twitter card meta data. This allows you to define exactly how titles, descriptions, images and more appear in social streams. The implications for SEO are also significant. We know from experience and studies that the right data, including optimized images, helps content to spread, which often leads to increased links and mentions.

Note:
  • Twitter Cards generated from meta tags only appear when a Tweet is either expanded in the timeline (on web) or viewed on the Tweet’s individual permalink page (by clicking on the date from the timeline, either on web or on mobile).
  • You must enable the Search Engine Optimization bundle to use Twitter Card Settings.

  • Summary with large image: requires the 'summary' field and the 'image' field.
    • Twitter large image optimized size: 280x150px
