Open Graph Generator Tool

I built and launched OpenGraph - a tool to analyse and generate open graph tags for your website.

After launching the site and without any marketing effort, it receives small traffic via search engine which prompted me to add more features to it.

I’m thinking of adding a scoring mechanism to score your current meta tags with action items on how you could improve it. Would you guys find it useful?

What other features would you like to see for this tool?

I would love to hear some feedback on its current state and what’s next for OpenGraph.

Thanks.

    You should add support for structured data also. see https://json-ld.org/

    Og tags are pretty easy; it takes much longer to generate valid JSON LD and it is important for SEO and rich results.

      I do agree that generating valid JSON-LD for structure data is extremely crucial for SEO and an interesting problem to solve. Would need to see it fits in with Open Graph tags

    Congratulations!! You should make an API for this. I had to build exactly this for the SaaS i was working on last year.

      Thanks. API sounds interesting. How would you use such API on your SaaS?

        When i was working on that project we had to build a "social media preview", since our tool was scheduling posts for facebook, twitter and Instagram. So every time a user pastes a link into the content textarea we called an api that returns to us the graph metadata and then we put that into the frontend for the user.

        We sometimes used the metadata to create a few content suggestions as well. we analyzed the metadata and suggest alternatives for texts and images.

          That's a perfect use case of the API. Adding content suggestions as I analyze the metadata is something I have in mind as well. I would work on that.

    Congratulations for making this
