Metadata
Metadata helps search engines and social platforms understand and present your content more effectively, shaping how your website appears in search results and when links are shared.
Infinitus CMS gives our clients this extra level of control by allowing them to manage metadata directly within their site. While not every Infinitus CMS installation includes this feature by default, it can be added to existing installs upon request.

Open Graph Image#
An Open Graph (or OG) image is what displays on social media accounts when you post a link from your website.

The different OG Types:

- Article: Best for blog posts, news stories, etc. with an author, publish date, and title.
- Place: Represents a physical location (like a business, park, or landmark) with geographic coordinates.
- Product: Designed for individual products, allowing rich details like price, availability, and brand.
- Profile: Used for individual people, including attributes such as name, username, and gender.
Twitter/X Card#
Twitter/X uses its own card type—separate from Open Graph—that defines how your webpage content appears in tweets, offering platform-specific features like large images, embedded media, or app links.
- Select the Metadata option in the middle column navigation.
- Click the icon.
- Click the icon next to the Twitter/X Card option.
- Fill in the Reference Title.

- Fill in the Title and Description.
- Choose the Image.**
- Check the Public checkbox.

The different Twitter/X Card Types:
- Summary Large Image: A card that shows a title, description, and a prominently featured large image for strong visual impact.
- Summary: A simpler card that includes a title, description, and small thumbnail image.
- App: A card type designed to showcase and link directly to a mobile app download or launch.
- Player: A card that embeds rich media—like video, audio, or interactive content—directly within the tweet.
**Helpful Tip: Some sites are set up to automatically populate from parent image (ex. the photo being used for a News post) to make adding Metadata quicker/easier and more foolproof. But you can easily add/choose something different, if you wish.
