Show IH: Website Metatag Grader. Get more traffic from social and messaging platforms.
Mobile Cavalry - Tools & Strategies For Marketing Professionals.
Hi guys, i'm
I am proud to launch a tool to make meta tags suck less.
https://mobilecavalry.com/lookout/
Over the last 10 years i've worked within teams, on my own, and for clients. Every time I launch a new website, or landing pages, I always get super frustrated with social meta tags. You know those html tags that make your site look pretty when shared on social media and messaging platforms? Those little tags are really time consuming and annoying, but have a huge impact on traffic.
Last year, I decided to build a few little tools to help marketers and front end developers take more control of the entire process.
Today, we're pushing everything live. We have a tool to preview your website across 12 platforms with a report card, a best practices guide, and a website meta tag generator.
I bet there's a bunch of peeps on IH that know this problem well.. Would love to hear feedback and how you currently manage these projects.

This is pretty awesome! Will definitely use it.
As for pricing, I'd love to see a yearly or lifetime pricing. As an agency it's a real hassle to deal with all these mini transactions. I don't mind paying say $249 straight up, but $4.98/mo puts me off ...
Problem is that with our rate, it costs our agency more to send this one little transaction/receipt to our accountant then the actual cost of the subscription.
I often find my self using https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object/ to fetch new scrape information. Not sure if other plattforms have the same tool, but some sort of automatic submitting could be cool to. Often takes a few tweaks here and there to get it right. Maybe you could just add a manual button for now.
Didn't see LinkedIn there. Are you planning to add it?
Good job!
I agree with jrn. I currently check my assets in facebook using the FB debug tool. I can update my property and refetch until it comes out just how I like it. I usually only check on FB, because they are the only one I know of with a nice tool like this for checking.
That said, your tool is 10x better if it can provide the same functionality for many sites, but it needs to have the refresh/refetch feature to replace the facebook tools I'm using now.
Thanks for the feedback @MikeN
We're working on a scrape refresh option and may switch to IP search limits =)
Great feedback. That's the second time today we've heard the yearly pricing request. And same with fb "fetch new" feature.
We have an API, and want to offer some better tools to manage that whole process. The preview tool is the first step to find the bad links / previews.
Thanks for checking out and your feedback.
