Fetch link preview metadata for this URL and tell me what will appear when it is shared on social media: https://example.com/article
Tips
- Ask ChatGPT to flag URLs that are missing Open Graph tags — they will generate poor link previews
- Use this to audit your own content pages before publishing or sharing
- Request a formatted link card summary showing exactly what the preview will look like
