I have actually been reading and thinking about adding OpenGraph meta tags to help people who are sharing my blog posts, and different information of my site on Facebook. From reading, that will help index the site even better.

The basic setup for my site would go something like this for each page:

<meta property="og:title" content="Page Title" />
<meta property="og:description" content="Piece of page information" />
<meta property="og:url" content="URL of Page" />
<meta property="og:image" content="Featured Image" />


I know this helps with sharing the page on Facebook, but I wonder if Google is going to also use any of it for SEO of the webpages? From what I have been researching, I am not sure how well Google handles the OpenGraph protocol for indexing.

Does Google use the OpenGraph tags to help index web pages?

Its open protocol so many other social media sites do use like Pinterest, Google Plus do use them check here developers.google.com/+/web/snippet/.
It will add up your SMO which in turn will help your search results too.

No. Google does not use OpenGraph tags. It is proprietary to Facebook.

Additionally, they are functionally no different then the description and keyword meta tags which Google has stated is not used in their algorithm.
