I have a website which has the following sameAs JSON-Ld property:
sameAs": ["https://www.facebook.com/AZFitnessEquipment","https://www.instagram.com/azfitnessequip","https://twitter.com/AZFitnessEquip"]
You can view the whole markup here:
view-source:https://azfitnessequipment.com/
However, Google shows only the Instagram page in the Navigation pane of the search results. You can see it here:
https://www.google.bg/search?q=az+fitness+equipment+ltd
Why is Google not showing the Facebook and Twitter links?

Background
Lately, Facebook added a "carousel" ad format, showing multiple slides in a sponsored post. This is now available for non-business users too.

Meta annotation
I am looking for a way to "annotate" my website in a way that it will be showing a carousel in a Facebook post when the url is used in a post. Currently I am using Open Graph (og) meta tags for annotation.
HTML share link
Besides that, I'm looking for a way to add multiple "carousel slides" to a Facebook share link. Currently I am using the following html for Facebook share links:
<a
href="http://www.facebook.com/dialog/feed
?app_id=123
&link=http%3A%2F%2Fmy.url.com
&picture=http%3A%2F%2Fmy.url.com/img.jpg
&name=MyTitle
&caption=MyCaption
&description=MyDescription
&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Fmy.url.com"
target="_blank"
>
Share on Facebook
</a>
Both ways result in the default post format. Can anyone help me with Facebook sharing in carousel format?
This is currently a feature that is being tested and it's not possible to apply for it.
Now this feature is live & when posting on a page select Image format and select carousal, you can add about 6 images to carousal & publish.
Using the "Share" link of a page does not always show the picture of the page as thumbnail in the Facebook link. For example, linking the page http://www.tekes.fi/tekes/tulokset-ja-vaikutukset/caset/2013/managed-outcomes-tuotantotalouden-logiikkaa-terveyspalveluihin/ to Facebook by using the red "Share" > "Facebook" link at the bottom of the page makes the link show in Facebook so that the picture of the article also shows in the link. However, linking the page http://www.tekes.fi/nyt/blogit-2013/katoavatko-tyopaikat/ in the same way does not show the picture in the Facebook link. The "Share" links in the pages are implemented by using the AddThis Toolbox.
When copying the urls of the above links directly to Facebook, both of the links are shown with pictures in Facebook as they should.
Could you tell us what could cause the problem with the "Share" link? Is there something wrong with the "Share" link implementation? Is there a solution to this problem? We have tried to add a
<meta property="og:image" content="<picture url>" />
tag to the pages with no effect. The Facebook debugger tool (https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug) tells about both of the pages the same things: that the 'og:image' property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags, and that the provided og:image is not big enough and that an other image will be used instead.
Here are some other urls where the picture shows correctly when sharing it to Facebook using the "Share" link:

The magic begins with using <figure> tag around article image. In this case, sharing works better. For example in Facebook and Google+.
I want to place texts at the bottom of each of my Tumblr posts. So I tweaked the HTML of my Tumblr theme.
I was successful in making texts appear on my tumblr posts, but only when opened in my custom domain - and only on desktop. Texts do not appear when viewing posts on Tumblr Dashboard, as well as in Tumblr for mobile.
Additionally, you can edit your own custom mobile theme by creating a "New Page" titled "iphone-theme" and select the "Custom Layout" option.

I'm curious if anyone has had success controlling content shared by Google+'s +1 and Share buttons on Facebook tabs. I'm seeing Google scrape content from the brand's main page (http://www.facebook.com/brand) instead of the tab itself (http://www.facebook.com/brand/app_123456789).
I've tried the microdata and Open Graph tag methods documented for the G+ Snippet but I see no difference. https://developers.google.com/+/plugins/snippet/ And I don't see a way to build my own share URL like you can with Facebook's dialogs.
You can build your own share URL using the Share Endpoint: https://developers.google.com/+/web/share/#sharelink-endpoint
I'm implementing a facebook like button on a simple blog/news section I created in an MVC 3 web application.
I used the XFBML way to implement this.
It works, but not completely.
When clicking and checking it on facebook, it shows the title I specified.
Here is a piece of code.
The viewbag information comes from my view, this is in the layout/master page.
<meta property="og:title" content="#ViewBag.FGTitle" />
But since it's a news item, I also want the content of the article to be displayed.
It only shows, the title, the site name and that's it.
I checked the facebook developer page, but I cant find a meta property/Open graph type in which i can set this content.
any ideas?
see the facebook url linter it shows you exactly what facebook sees when greping the url. Also you should read up on the other meta tags
