Question 1

What is blog.google's Open Graph type?

Accepted Answer

blog.google declares `og:type` as `website`. This tells Slack how to categorize the content when generating a preview.

Question 2

Does blog.google declare image dimensions?

Accepted Answer

blog.google sets `og:image` but does not include `og:image:width` and `og:image:height`. Explicit dimensions let platforms render the preview faster without downloading the image first.

Question 3

What headline does blog.google use for social previews?

Accepted Answer

blog.google's social headline is "The Keyword" (11 characters).

Question 4

What description does blog.google use for social previews?

Accepted Answer

blog.google's social description reads: "Get the latest news and stories about Google products, technology and innovation on the Keyword, Google's official blog." (120 characters).

Question 5

What site name does blog.google display on social cards?

Accepted Answer

blog.google sets `og:site_name` to "blog.google". This appears as a small attribution label on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Slack.

Question 6

What's the biggest issue with blog.google's Slack preview?

Accepted Answer

Image too small for Twitter/X (200x200). Twitter/X requires at least 300x157px. Recommended: 1200x675px.

Question 7

How can I improve blog.google's social previews?

Accepted Answer

Review the recommendations above - they list specific issues and provide ready-to-paste meta tag snippets. The highest-impact fixes are usually a properly sized `og:image` (800×418), a clear `og:title` under 60 characters, and a 50-155 character `og:description`.
