Is your website optimized for sharing Social Media?
The Social Media Optimization (SMO) tool will analyze your markup code for Facebook's Open Graph protocol, Google+ Authorship, LinkedIn, and Twitter's Summary card data.
* Google+ test isn’t as important anymore as Google no longer relies on authorship.
Note: If you receive a failing grade double check and make sure you’re using the social media account you’re failing at before notifying your webmaster to make code updates.
