Open Graph

Open Graph meta tags power rich previews when your links are shared across platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack, WhatsApp, and Discord.

SeoKit supports the full Open Graph specification, from basic cards to rich media, articles, books, and profiles.

Basic Open Graph Setup

You can configure Open Graph via the SeoKit facade shortcuts or the dedicated opengraph() manager:

use Larament\SeoKit\Facades\SeoKit;

SeoKit::opengraph()
    ->title('Laravel Performance Optimization Guide')
    ->description('In-depth techniques for caching, database queries, and queue scaling.')
    ->url('https://example.com/blog/performance-guide')
    ->siteName('My Application')
    ->type('article')
    ->locale('en_US');

Synchronization

When you use top-level shortcuts like SeoKit::title() or SeoKit::description(), SeoKit automatically synchronizes them to Open Graph tags unless you override them specifically on SeoKit::opengraph().

Adding Images

SeoKit allows you to define images with dimensions, MIME types, secure URLs, and accessibility alt text:

SeoKit::opengraph()->image(
    url: 'https://example.com/images/cover.jpg',
    secureUrl: 'https://example.com/images/cover.jpg',
    type: 'image/jpeg',
    width: 1200,
    height: 630,
    alt: 'Cover graphic showing Laravel code snippet'
);

This renders:

<meta property="og:image" content="https://example.com/images/cover.jpg">
<meta property="og:image:secure_url" content="https://example.com/images/cover.jpg">
<meta property="og:image:type" content="image/jpeg">
<meta property="og:image:width" content="1200">
<meta property="og:image:height" content="630">
<meta property="og:image:alt" content="Cover graphic showing Laravel code snippet">

Multiple images can be added simply by calling image() multiple times.

Rich Media (Video & Audio)

Add video or audio attachments for media streaming or podcast episodes:

// Add Video
SeoKit::opengraph()->video(
    url: 'https://example.com/videos/tutorial.mp4',
    secureUrl: 'https://example.com/videos/tutorial.mp4',
    type: 'video/mp4',
    width: 1920,
    height: 1080
);

// Add Audio
SeoKit::opengraph()->audio(
    url: 'https://example.com/podcasts/episode-12.mp3',
    secureUrl: 'https://example.com/podcasts/episode-12.mp3',
    type: 'audio/mpeg'
);

Specialized Content Types

Article Metadata

When sharing blog posts or news items, use article() to attach publication dates, author profiles, sections, and tags:

SeoKit::opengraph()->article(
    publishedTime: '2026-03-15T08:00:00Z',
    modifiedTime: '2026-03-16T10:30:00Z',
    authors: ['https://example.com/authors/raziul'],
    section: 'Engineering',
    tags: ['laravel', 'php', 'architecture']
);

Profile Metadata

For user profiles or author pages:

SeoKit::opengraph()->profile(
    firstName: 'Raziul',
    lastName: 'Islam',
    username: 'raziuldev',
    gender: 'male'
);

Book & Music Types

SeoKit also provides specialized helpers for:

• book(array $author, ?string $isbn, ?string $releaseDate, array $tags)
• musicSong(...), musicAlbum(...), musicPlaylist(...), and musicRadioStation(...)

Conditional Properties

Use addWhen() to append Open Graph properties conditionally:

SeoKit::opengraph()->addWhen(
    $post->is_premium,
    'custom:subscription_tier',
    'pro'
);
