On the link url, it's showing the blog page title instead of the actual url link

I think you're going to have to be more specific for anyone to offer any meaningful help.

Hello Edward,

I wrote an add-on that generates sharing links (inside a template) for you: https://grabapipit.com/pipits/apps/sharing/

Docs: https://grabapipit.com/pipits/apps/sharing/docs

In your case you would use:

<a class="facebook" href="<perch:sharing id="facebook" />" target="_blank">
   <i class="fa fa-facebook-square"></i>Share on Facebook
</a>
