OG Image (Social Share Image)
An OG image (from Open Graph) is the preview picture that appears when someone shares your link on social media, in a chat, or in a message. It is set by tags in your page's code, and it heavily influences whether people click.
Why does an OG image matter to your business?
A shared link with a crisp, on-brand image gets far more clicks than a bare link or a broken preview. It is free advertising every time someone shares you — but only if the image is set and stays current. Stale or missing previews quietly cost you traffic.
At Nabee, OG images and share tags are part of a build, and keeping them correct is part of maintenance. Because one team owns the whole site, previews are handled rather than left to chance.
A concrete example
When someone shares an app's landing page or a case page, a clean preview image makes the link look trustworthy and clickable. That polish is the difference between a link people ignore and one they open.
