I want to share an external link (news article) to my company's Facebook page, but the thumbnail is just a generic image showing the name of the news site, so it looks like I'm advertising the newspaper. Is there a web-app or browser extension that allows me to change the preview image to something more relevant to the topic of the article?
Facebook Help Center says:
If an error was made in your Page name when it was created, you have the option to edit the Page name to correct this issue. This option is only limited to Pages with less than 100 connections. After selecting to edit your Page, you can adjust this information from the "Basic Information" section.
Facebook keeps on performing some sort of A/B testing, where few users (based on some business logic of facebook) will see one UI, while rest will see other UI.
I don't know how it could be possible at the time this question was posted, but currently you can give a try to these steps:

You would need to change the meta tags of the page you're sharing. If you can't do this (because you don't have access to the site's HTML code or you're sharing an external page), you could try ShareKit.io, which is a web app for changing the Facebook link preview. It also works for other social platforms like Twitter and LinkedIn, as well.
