Learn how to use the profile:username meta tag to improve your site.

Specify the username of the profile the web page is about. This tag is crucial for social media platforms to appropriately attribute content.

Code Examples

<meta property="profile:username" content="@exampleuser" />
Specifies a social media username associated with the profile content of the page, making it easier for platforms to link content correctly.
<meta property="profile:username" content="" />
Leaving the "profile:username" meta tag empty creates missed opportunities for correct content attribution on social media platforms.
<meta property="profile:username" content="John Doe" />
Using a full name instead of a social media username does not follow the intended use of the tag and can lead to improper content linkage.
<meta property="profile:username" content="@brand_123" />
Utilizes a username that may include numbers or underscores, accommodating for various username formats on social platforms.
