Setting the social sharing image in Squarespace

Squarespace generates Open Graph tags automatically and falls back to your site-wide social sharing logo when a page has no image of its own. That is exactly why so many Squarespace links show the same logo as their preview — here is how to do better.

Want to see how your page looks right now?

The free checker shows your previews for nine platforms — from X and WhatsApp to iMessage, Discord and Bluesky.

Per page: set a social image

Open the page settings (gear next to the page) and go to the Social Image tab (or "SEO" → social). Upload a 1200×630 image specifically for that page.

Site-wide: the fallback logo

In the site settings (Design/Marketing → Social sharing, depending on your version) lives the site-wide social logo. It appears for every page without its own social image — so pick something better than just your logo on white.

Blog posts: the featured image

Blog posts typically use the featured image as og:image. Set it deliberately on every post.

Test

Paste your URL into the MetaPeek checker and verify the right image, title and description appear — per platform.

Frequently asked questions

Can I change the og:description in Squarespace?

Yes — the page's SEO description is used for the social preview. Fill it in deliberately in the page settings.

My change does not show when sharing — now what?

First check with MetaPeek whether the new tags are live. If they are, it is the platform cache; it refreshes on its own.

Changed your tags? Verify the result.

Paste your URL and see within two seconds whether everything is right — on every platform.
