I recently started a website and have been making frequent posts. For some reason, when I look up my articles the image next to them ok google is my logo and not the featured image I set. I’m new to all of this so please let me know what I can do to fix this. Thank you.
Because a featured image is just a normal image. WordPress just calls it that.
Use an SEO plugin (seo framework, seopress, yoast, whatever) to specify the image to be used in Google/social platforms, using the “social” section in the plugin. The keywords you’re looking for are “og tags”
