When someone shares content from your site to Facebook, our crawler will scrape the HTML of the URL that is shared. On a regular HTML page this content is basic and may be incorrect, because the scraper has to guess which content is important, and which is not. Take control of what the Facebook crawler picks up from each page by using Open Graph meta tags. These tags provide structured info about the page such as the title, description, preview image, and more.

How To Get An App ID From Facebook
In order to get an App ID and Secret Key from Facebook, you’ll need to register a new Facebook application. Don't worry – its very easy, and your application doesn't need to do anything. We only need the keys.
There are 4 simple steps to creating a Facebook App, which we've outlined below.
Step One: Visit The Facebook Developers Page
To start with, navigate your browser to the Facebook Developers page. You'll be asked to login to your Facebook account.
Once logged in, you’ll see a screen similar to this:
![](/images/documentation/mod_geek_facebookembed/create-app-step-1.png "Click the "e;Add a New App"e; to start create a new app.")
Click the "Add a New App" to start create a new app.
Step Two: Choose Website as Your App's Platform
This is the popup you will see when you click Add a New App – select Website to Continue.
Step Three: Update Your App Information
After you fill out the requested fields, click the "Create App ID" button — this will take you to a page where you retrieve your info.
Step Four: Get Your Keys
Copy and paste the App ID and App Secret Key into the module settings form, and save your changes.
