Small SEO penalty but huge social-share UX issue — bundle as a 15-minute add-on to any SEO audit package.

SaaS founders
OG completeness is a fast Boolean to compute and easy to visualize; great free-tier hook in an audit SaaS to drive upgrades.
Indie hackers

Scoring Breakdown
Missing Multiple
Missing 2 or more Open Graph tags
How this factor shows up in the CSV
True when all three core Open Graph tags (og:title, og:description, og:image) are present on the homepage; false when 2 or more are missing.
Every row ships with seo_score (0-100) and a seo_issues column that lists each problem we detected for that store — including this one — alongside emails, phones, theme, apps, and country.

Everything you need to know

What are Open Graph tags?
Open Graph (OG) tags are meta tags that control how your pages appear when shared on social media (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, etc.). They define the title, description, and image shown in social posts and messages.
Why only -3 points? Isn't social sharing important?
While OG tags improve social sharing appearance, they don't directly impact search rankings. The small penalty reflects that missing OG tags is more of a 'hygiene' issue than a critical SEO problem. However, better social shares can drive more traffic.
Which OG tags do you check for?
We check for the three most important tags: og:title, og:description, and og:image. If 2 or more are missing, we apply the penalty. These three tags are essential for decent social sharing appearance.
Does Shopify add OG tags automatically?
Most modern Shopify themes include OG tags by default. If they're missing, it's usually due to theme customization, very old themes, or errors. Many SEO apps also help manage OG tags if your theme doesn't include them.
Is og:image really that important?
Yes! Posts with images get significantly more engagement on social media. Without og:image, social platforms will either show no image or pick a random one from your page - usually not the best choice for representing your brand.
