: Can you put content from your site on Facebook, or will that cause duplicate content? I have a question about duplicate content. Is it okay to take a paragraph or two directly from your website

@Eichhorn148

Copying content from one place to another with permission and proper attribution is called "Content Syndication". Content syndication is fine, you just have to hide the content from Googlebot or tell Google where the content came from with a link to the original source.

Your Facebook page would link to your site. That is proper syndicated content attribution. So syndicating a couple paragraphs there wouldn't cause any problems.

Google also doesn't penalize for duplicate content unless it is a significant portion of a site. Generally Google just ignores duplicate content in the place that it thinks is copy and only sends traffic to the original. If there is plenty of other content on the Facebook page, a couple paragraphs that are not indexed is not going to cause any significant SEO issues.

Don't use same content from your page to post on Facebook page. Don't take risk. Though a paragraph or two, Google count it as content spam if it is present in other sites. Better use some other words to describe your post. I don't think that its a very difficult job to post a few fresh words on Facebook.
