🔍 Overview
When working with Twitter Card meta tags in Search Atlas, you may notice that clicking the Write button does not generate AI-suggested content. Instead, it opens a manual text input box. This is expected behaviour — Twitter Card fields are designed for manual input, not AI generation.
💡 Why the Write Button Opens a Manual Input Box
The AI fix feature in Search Atlas is available for certain on-page SEO elements such as meta titles, meta descriptions, and body content. However, Twitter Card fields work differently for the following reasons:
- Twitter Card tags (such as twitter:title, twitter:description, and twitter:image) are social sharing meta tags that should reflect your own specific branding, messaging, and creative decisions.
- Because these fields are highly customised and context-dependent, Search Atlas intentionally provides a manual input experience rather than auto-generating content.
- The Write button opens a text box so you can enter your preferred copy directly — giving you full control over how your content appears when shared on Twitter (now X).
📋 How to Fill In Your Twitter Card Fields
- In the left sidebar, navigate to OTTO SEO → All Sites (SEO Automation).
- Select the page you want to optimise and open its on-page details.
- Scroll to the Twitter Cards section.
- Click the Write button next to the field you want to update.
- Type your preferred content directly into the input box that appears.
- Save your changes to apply the updated Twitter Card tags to your page.
✅ Best Practices for Twitter Card Content
To get the most out of your Twitter Card tags, follow these tips when writing your content manually:
- twitter:title — Keep it under 70 characters. Match or closely align with your page title for consistency.
- twitter:description — Aim for 100–200 characters. Write a compelling summary that encourages clicks when your link is shared.
- twitter:image — Use a high-quality image URL. Twitter recommends a minimum size of 1200 × 628 pixels for best display results.
- Avoid duplicating your standard meta description word-for-word — tailor the tone for a social media audience.
🛠️ Troubleshooting
If the Write button is unresponsive or the input box does not appear, try the following steps:
- Refresh the page and navigate back to the Twitter Cards section.
- Clear your browser cache and reload the platform.
- Try a different supported browser such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.
- Confirm you have the correct editing permissions for the site in your Search Atlas account.
