Associate Social Card with a Short Link
Social Card is an important Socxly feature to make your Short Link marketable and appealing to Users on Social Media.
Social Media channels use Open Graph as the Standard to show your Content with Image, Title & Description, although this may vary in some Social channels and the type of content.
The Problem that Socxly Social Card Solves
In many cases, when you Paste/Type a link (long or short) on Social Media Apps
Social apps will resolve the Link to show the associated Image in the Link
It may also resolve the associated Title & Description in the Link
But, when you try to Change the Image after pasting the Link, the New Image loses its association with Link and the Click on the New Image does not take Users to the Link
This leads to drop in Traffic and Conversions (Leads / Goals) from the Link
