Seventh Generation sets a title and stops there

og:title is present. No og:description, no og:image, nothing else.

So the card is a single line of SEO copy

A title written for a results page, doing the work of a share card.

What's actually wrong

seventhgeneration.com emits og:title and nothing else from the Open Graph namespace: no og:description, no og:image. That's the thinnest card a platform can render. It also means the one line of copy that does appear is the page title, which is written for search rather than for a feed, so it reads like a breadcrumb instead of a reason to click.

This is cause 5 of the 5 ways link previews break. The full breakdown covers the manual fix and the automatic one.

meta[property='og:title']       → present
meta[property='og:description'] → not present
meta[property='og:image']       → not present

Seventh Generation, with something to look at

Image and copy composed for a feed rather than a search result.

For whoever owns the templates

SEO titles aren't share copy

A title tuned for search results reads as a breadcrumb in a feed. og:title can differ from <title>, and usually should.

og:title  ≠  <title>

One tag isn't a card

With only og:title, the platform has nothing to lay out, so it renders the most compact form available.

Fill the gap automatically

OpenGraph+ supplies the image so the remaining work is one line of copy per template rather than an asset pipeline.
