# Change your site title, favicon, and social preview

> Lovable generates your site title, meta description, favicon, and social sharing image. Change them in the project chat and check how each page looks when shared.

Your site's metadata is the text and images that browsers, search engines, and chat apps show for your site: the title and **meta description** in search results, the site icon (**favicon**) in browser tabs, and the social sharing image, or Open Graph (**OG**) image, in link previews.

Lovable generates all of it while it builds your app, so a new project has a complete set before you publish.

You change metadata by asking Lovable in the project chat, and you check the result on the **Social** and **Search** cards above the preview. Metadata applies to your whole site and to individual pages, so you can give the pricing page its own description without changing the rest.

## Change your site title, description, and icon

Describe what you want in the project chat. Name the page when you mean one page rather than the whole site.

```text wrap theme={null}
Change my site title to "Acme Task Tracker", write a meta description about team to-do lists, and generate a new social sharing image.
```

```text wrap theme={null}
Update the meta description of the pricing page.
```

The site icon is one icon for your whole site. The title, description, and social sharing image start as one set that applies to every page, and a page can override them with values Lovable generates from its content. That is why viewing and changing metadata goes through the project chat, where you can also name the page you mean.

The social sharing image is chosen when your site is served: Lovable uses an image you have asked it to set, or the latest screenshot of your app. A site that is not publicly visible gets no automatic social sharing image.

Metadata edits are treated as standard build usage and consume credits. A metadata change reaches your live site the next time you [publish changes](https://docs.lovable.dev/features/publish.md#republish-to-make-new-changes-live), like any other edit. When the project is already published, Lovable ends its reply with a button that opens the publish dialog, so you can take the change live without leaving the project chat.

Until you publish, the **Social** and **Search** cards show your new title or icon while people on your live site still see the old one.

## Check how a page looks when shared and in search

Open the [page selector](https://docs.lovable.dev/features/projects/preview.md#preview-controls) above the preview and hover over the preview icon on a page. Two cards open:

* **Social**: the image, title, and description that appear when someone shares a link to that page.
* **Search**: the title, address, and description that appear in search results, with the favicon.

Both cards show your latest changes, even before you publish, so you can check a new title without taking it live. On a phone, open **Social & search** from the preview actions menu to see the cards for the page you are viewing.

You can also reach the cards while publishing:

* In the publish dialog, open the **⋮** menu in the top-right corner and select **Social & search appearance**, or click the favicon next to the website URL. Both options work whether or not your site is published yet.
* While you publish and right after, the dialog previews how your site appears in search results. Click **Edit** next to your site's title in the preview to open the page selector.

To check indexing, crawlability, and how AI search engines read your site, run the review described in [Optimize your app for SEO and AI search](https://docs.lovable.dev/features/seo-aeo.md).
