Configuration

Our extension works out of the box. However, there are few things you should set for best results. Log to your Magento Admin and go to:

Stores > Configuration > Apptrian Extensions > Snippets Generator

In Open Graph section:

For Facebook Administrator IDs (fb:admins) type Facebook IDs of the app's administrators as the comma-separated list. If you do not have administrators type ID of the profile which created your Facebook page.

For Facebook Profile ID (article:author) type Facebook Profile ID of the administrator of Magento store or owner of the store.

In Google+ and Google Rich Snippets (Schema.org JSON-LD) section:

For Author Name (author.name) type name of the administrator of Magento store or owner of the store.

For Publisher Logo (publisher.logo) upload your store logo. Be aware that this logo must follow Google requirements as follows:
Logos should have a wide aspect ratio, not a square icon.
Logos should be no wider than 600px, and no taller than 60px.
Always retain the original aspect ratio of the logo when resizing. Ideally, logos are exactly 60px tall with width <= 600px. If maintaining a height of 60px would cause the width to exceed 600px, downscale the logo to exactly 600px wide and reduce the height accordingly below 60px to maintain the original aspect ratio.

In Twitter Cards section:

For Website's Username (twitter:site) type your store Twitter username. For example @site_username.

For Creator's Username (twitter:creator) type the Twitter username of the administrator of Magento store or owner of the store. You can use the site username or leave empty.

All options are self-explanatory and have comments and tooltips for additional information.

After changing options make sure you refresh your Magento cache.

FAQ

Q: Google Rich Snippets do not show in Google search results?

A: Google will discover snippets the next time it crawls your site (although it may take some time for rich snippets to appear in search results). When Google algorithms discover technically correct markup on a page, they use a variety of signals to determine when to show rich snippets, including compliance with Google Webmaster Quality Guidelines and Structured Data Policies. As a result, correctly marked up content may not always trigger rich snippet in Google search results.
