Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
I checked your URL with the LinkedIn post inspector tool: https://www.linkedin.com/post-inspector/inspect/https:%2F%2Fwww.createadvanced.com%2Fwork%2Foutdoor-warranty%2F
In the screenshot below, you can see the open graph image is among the considered images but LinkedIn picks a different image:
Sometimes LinkedIn do this depending on the size of the image and the Width:Height ratio. Here is an article to explain this.
Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
From the site you sent me:
Recommended: LinkedIn’s sharing module has the ability to promote wide, rectangular images, which can increase your post’s clickthrough rate over a 80 x 150 thumbnail. To share an image like this, the company advises using an image that is 1200 x 627, and as close to a 1:91:1 aspect ratio as you can (i.e. rectangular, rather than square).
Mine is 1200X630 so it’s almost that recommended size. Still, LinkedIn chooses a different one? I have the same setup on a different site that uses SEOPress, exactly the same post and image. Yet, with SEOPress, LinkedIn chooses the correct image. How do you explain that?
Hello,
Thank you for the follow-up.
I’ve checked the image, and it seems that the ShortPixel plugin is sending the image to LinkedIn. Please see the image in the designated Sensitive Data section of what LinkedIn is getting.
Could you please try to disable that plugin and see if the issue persists?
I hope that helps. Thank you, and looking forward to your update.
After deactivating Short Pixel AI, the wrong image is still being selected. See the image link attached. Also, when checking the same post with the LinkedIn post checker on the other site with SEOPress, the correct image is selected even though it’s served from Short Pixel CDN. Link also attached.
Hello,
I checked your URL from my end and it seems to be showing the correct image on LinkedIn post inspector, check the screenshot I added in the sensitive section.
Which Social plugin are you using at the moment?
Looking forward to helping you.
Hello,
It looks like LinkedIn is completely ignoring the og:image tag and picking up the image from your Schema. Please add the same social image as your featured image as well and that should sort the issue.
Yep, that seems the only solution right now and it worked but there are cases where I would like different images for those and it seems RankMath has an issue with LinkedIn looking at other support cases. Is there something you could have a look at from your end?
Hello,
Sorry for the delay.
Unlike Facebook, LinkedIn doesn’t always honor the og:image tag and sometimes picks up images from within the content. This is something we are working on improving and an update will be provided soon to “fix” this issue.
We would appreciate your patience in this matter.
I hope that helps. Thank you, and please don’t hesitate to contact us if you need further assistance.
