Place Open Graph tags in the <head> section of your page’s html code. Primary open graph tags:

"og:locale" — points out a language of your website
"og:type" — indicates the page type (article, video, news, etc.)
"og:title" — title of the page.
"og:description" — short description of the page that users can see in the social media post
"og:url" — link to the website’s page
"og:image" — link to the image shown in the post
"og:site_name" — name of the website
