Social preview monitoring for content & web teams

Monitor the metadata your LinkedIn previews use.

Keep an eye on Open Graph titles, descriptions and images for campaign and product pages. Review issues after CMS edits or deploys and check the source again after a fix.

Start with a free scan. No account or credit card. Then choose weekly follow-ups by email or Slack for up to 10 report pages.

A clear place to start

See the issue. Find the page. Follow up.

Check the sourceInspect titles, descriptions and images in the metadata your pages serve.
Review the findingsOpen affected pages and use the issue details to decide what needs fixing.
Check again after changesRun another scan after a fix, or set up recurring checks for the pages that matter.

Previews are based on fetched metadata. Slack, LinkedIn and X may show a different or cached card.

From finding to fix

What to check and how to follow up.

Check 01

Why LinkedIn previews break

LinkedIn cards rely on crawler-accessible metadata, stable images, and clean URL signals.

Why it happens

Missing or changed Open Graph title, description, or image tags.
Preview images that are blocked, redirected, or not sized for reliable cards.
Canonical and redirect changes that make LinkedIn inspect a different URL.

What to do next

Scan the URL to validate the current Open Graph source metadata.
Use stable preview images and reduce redirect ambiguity.
Monitor important pages so regressions surface after deploys or CMS edits.

Check 02

Pages worth watching for LinkedIn

LinkedIn often carries high-intent traffic from launches, hiring posts, investor updates, and customer stories.

Why it happens

Launch pages and blog posts keep changing after the first share.
CMS templates can affect many thought-leadership or announcement pages.

What to do next

Start with campaign, announcement, blog, and product pages.
Scan before major posts go live to catch obvious issues.
Connect Slack to set up monitoring and alert routing for later changes.

Check 03

What to do when LinkedIn still looks stale

A source page can be fixed while LinkedIn still shows cached preview information.

Why it happens

Platform caching behavior is controlled by LinkedIn.
Source metadata, image URLs, or redirects may still be inconsistent.

What to do next

Confirm the source page now serves the expected metadata.
Use LinkedIn Post Inspector when you need platform-specific troubleshooting.
Keep monitoring the source page so future regressions are easier to catch.

When your team needs broader coverage

Bring recurring checks into your publishing workflow.

Create a workspace and verify your domain to schedule scans, manage URLs and connect CMS or GitHub Actions triggers. The Free workspace plan covers up to 100 pages.

Before you start

A few useful details.

Does ShareScan replace LinkedIn Post Inspector?

No. Use ShareScan to scan and monitor source metadata. Use LinkedIn Post Inspector for LinkedIn-specific cache and rendering troubleshooting.

What metadata does LinkedIn care about?

LinkedIn primarily relies on Open Graph fields such as title, description, image, and URL, plus the crawler-facing HTTP response.

Can Slack alerts help with LinkedIn preview issues?

Yes. Connect Slack to continue setup and route preview regression alerts to the team that owns the page.

Should I monitor every LinkedIn link?

Start with URLs where LinkedIn traffic matters most: launches, announcements, product pages, customer stories, and hiring pages.
