In the world of digital publishing, while content may be king, distribution is the queen that rules the kingdom. True Anthem is your trusted partner in automating content distribution to social media platforms. A key component of this automation is metadata maps, or "meta maps"—a structured approach to leveraging your website’s metadata for optimized content sharing.
What Are Metadata Maps?
Meta maps act as a bridge between your content's core elements and how they are presented on social media. They define how True Anthem interprets your metadata to generate optimized social media posts.
Key Functions of Meta Maps:
- Extracts critical metadata from your website’s meta tags.
- Structures metadata for efficient content distribution.
- Enhances how content is previewed, recommended, and shared.
Standard Metadata Elements
True Anthem’s meta maps rely on essential metadata fields, including:
- Article ID – A unique identifier for your content.
- Title – The headline of your article.
- Description – A summary of the article’s content.
- Keywords – Relevant terms to enhance discoverability.
- Image URL – The primary image associated with the content.
- Content Type – Classification of the article type (e.g., news, feature, opinion).
- Category – The broader topic under which the content falls.
- Timestamps – Information on when the content was published and last modified.
Automation and Customization
True Anthem’s HTML Web Page Fetcher pulls metadata values directly from your web pages, ensuring:
- Your content remains up-to-date.
- Social media posts are generated efficiently.
- Posts align with your content distribution strategy.
The Role of Content Rules
Beyond simple metadata extraction, True Anthem employs Content Rules and Content Type configurations to determine which content should be shared. These rules use:
- Time-based criteria (e.g., newly published or recently updated content).
- Metadata-based criteria (e.g., keywords, categories, or engagement signals).
This intelligent selection process ensures your content reaches the right audience at the right time, maximizing engagement and visibility.
