Why your brand needs custom link previews

Why your brand needs custom link previews

When you share a link to your website — on LinkedIn, Facebook, or in a messenger — what people see first isn’t your page itself, but the preview image.
That image shapes the very first impression of your brand.

If the preview looks generic or random, people scroll past without noticing. But when the card follows your brand style — with a logo, signature colors, and clean typography — it immediately stands out and becomes recognizable.

Most companies rely on automatically generated Open Graph images. It’s convenient, but it makes them invisible. In a feed full of similar links, there’s nothing that tells the viewer, “this is us.”

Branded previews solve this by turning every shared link — whether it’s a blog post, product, or job offer — into a small, consistent piece of brand communication.


What branded previews give you

Brand recognition.
Every shared link becomes a visual touchpoint. People start associating your brand with a consistent look and feel — your colors, your typography, your logo. Even without clicking, they recognize who you are.

Visual consistency.
Branded previews create harmony across all your content — website, social media, newsletters, and job posts. They make your communication look structured and intentional.

Professional image.
A carefully designed preview tells your audience that you care about details and brand quality. Even a simple image with a logo and subtle accent line can instantly elevate the perception of your business.

Better engagement.
Attractive, on-brand visuals draw attention in busy feeds. This leads to higher click-through rates and stronger engagement with your content.
