The og:title meta tag is slightly malformed, and LinkedIn is not accepting it as their default title in their postings. I imagine other OpenGraph feeders will be equally confused.
The og:title meta tag that RankMath produces is:
<meta property=”og:title” content=”My Custom Title”>RankMath *should* be generating the meta tag with the name=”title” attribute:
<meta name=”title” property=”og:title” content=”My Custom Title”>RankMath’s generated meta tag is missing its essential name (all good meta tags need a name). LinkedIn states (correctly) that it’s specifically looking for a properly formed meta tag:
From LinkedIn’s Post Inspector: https://www.linkedin.com/post-inspector/ :
How to change the title
Provide a metadata tag for the og:title in the page’s head section. For example:
<meta name=”title” property=”og:title” content=”[Content title here]”>It would be super awesome for all your users if you could adapt RankMath to include the meta name attribute.
Thanks, and happy new year!

Hi Cameron,
That is not correct.
Please check this blog post from our website:
https://rankmath.com/blog/power-words/I just checked it on the LinkedIn debug tool:
Or you can check this URL where the
og:titleis different than the post title but still gets picked up correct by LinkedInhttps://mythemeshop.com/themes/digital/
If it isn’t working for you, it could be due to something else and we will love to take a look for you.
Thank you.
Hello,
We really appreciate your feedback.
I have shared that with the dev. team.
Please note that there is no mention of using the
nametag on https://ogp.me/ website.Ironically, LinkedIn itself doesn’t use the
nametag in their OpenGraph tags:view-source:https://engineering.linkedin.com/blog/2018/06/post-inspector--a-tool-to-optimize-content-sharingThey don’t mention using that on their post either:
We will still discuss this internally and see if it makes sense to do this.
