Question 1

What is directv.com's Open Graph type?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 2

Does directv.com declare image dimensions?

Accepted Answer

directv.com 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 directv.com use for social previews?

Accepted Answer

directv.com's social headline is "DIRECTV | Stream Your Way | Call 1-800-DIRECTV (1-800-347-3288)" (63 characters).

Question 4

What description does directv.com use for social previews?

Accepted Answer

directv.com's social description reads: "Introducing Genre Packs! Channel lineups built to match the content you love, minus everything else. Starting at $34.99/mo. only with DIRECTV!" (142 characters).

Question 5

What site name does directv.com display on social cards?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 6

What's the biggest issue with directv.com's Slack preview?

Accepted Answer

Title is 63 characters - truncated on most platforms. Google cuts at ~60, Facebook at ~65, Twitter at ~70 characters.

Question 7

How can I improve directv.com'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`.
