If you're using a template that sets the main page image as a background image, Facebook won't be able to pick it up. In this case, manually post your main page image and link back to the main page. To do this, copy the address of your main page, go to your Facebook timeline, and paste the URL into the What's on your mind textbox, then upload the image and post.
You can also use the Facebook debugger tool to clear your website's URL from Facebook's cache if you switch to a different template. This is especially important if you're using a FASO template.
When it comes to choosing a post method for links, it's worth noting that Facebook link posts often have lower organic post reach. However, photo posts with a link have provided better organic reach than link posts, so it's worth experimenting with different post methods to see what works best for your page.
To create a cleaner-looking post, you can remove the link after the preview has been created. This is done by hiding the URL in the optional setting located at the bottom of the middle section of the New Post dialog.
Here are some tips for creating a successful link post:
- Use a mix of post methods to reach different types of users
- Choose a thumbnail image that's at least 600 pixels wide
- Write a compelling post that doesn't repeat the title and description from the link preview
- Give your readers a good reason to click the link
Alternative Methods
If you're looking for alternative methods to share a website link on Facebook, here's an option. You can create a photo post with the link in the caption.
Historically, link type posts used to get the lowest engagement numbers at Facebook. However, this changed in the second half of 2013 when Facebook increased the size of the thumbnail in the News Feed.
To create a photo post, upload an eye-catching image that's at least 600 pixel wide. This will give your link "premium" space in the News Feed and make it more likely to get noticed.
If your web page has no photos or only small ones, you can upload an image to make the post more visually appealing. This is also a good option if you want to include a custom image that's not available on the web page.
Facebook will use the uploaded image as the thumbnail, making your post stand out in the News Feed.
