  Hello,
  When I post my website link on Facebook, the photo that gets pulled in is not the one I want. How can I choose which photo gets featured?
  Thanks so much in advance,
  Deb

  Hello @debshinnlinger,
  We do not control what images/contents show up when you share your link to Facebook or any other Social Channels. We just provide the URL and Facebook scans through the page and pulls the post excerpts and the images to show up.

  But you can ensure that your images will be pulled by Facebook, if you follow the instructions given here:

  Hope this helps :)
