I know this is an old one but it comes up top of Google and all the links provided now seem out of date.

This is the latest list of types Facebook accepts: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/opengraph

If you don't use one of these then the type will default to 'website' which is best used for home pages/summarising a web site.

In answer to the OP you would now want to use a place which will allow you to add lat/long location details.

This started happening to my site after I enabled namespace and custom Open Graph actions and objects  Once you enable it  you lose support for standard object types such as bar  or in my case article   or it s possible Facebook may have deprecated certain types  I m not 100  sure   When no supported type is specified  Facebook defaults to website   To fix this what you need to do is go into your app dashboard  select your app  then go to the Open Graph section   Under  Object Types   define your own types  such as  bar    Next you will have to change your meta tags to look like this    lt meta property  og type  content  your namespace your object type    gt     If you click on  Get Code  next to the object type in the dashboard  Facebook will provide you with an example of meta tags to use

Make sure your article author data is a Facebook author URL    Unfortunately  that conflicts with what Pinterest is expecting    It s the best thing about standards  there are so many ways to implement them    lt meta property  article author  content  https   www facebook com mpatnode76  gt    But Pinterest wants to see something like this    lt meta property  article author  content  Mike Patnode  gt    We ended up swapping the formats depending upon the user agent   Hopefully  that doesn t screw up your page cache   That fixed it for us     Full disclosure   Found this here  https   surniaulula com 2014 03 01 pinterest-articleauthor-incompatible-with-open-graph

I have moved into the world of namespace specific open graph data and therefore dont rely on the FB types  See  edit open graph  in the apps dev tool dashboard
