Question 1

Does hbr.org declare an og:type?

Accepted Answer

No - hbr.org does not set an `og:type` meta tag. Most platforms default to `website`, but explicitly declaring it ensures consistent rendering.

Question 2

Does hbr.org have a social share image?

Accepted Answer

No - hbr.org does not currently set an `og:image` or `twitter:image`. Slack will fall back to extracting an image from the page or render no preview image at all.

Question 3

What headline does hbr.org use for social previews?

Accepted Answer

hbr.org's social headline is "Harvard Business Review - Ideas and Advice for Leaders" (54 characters).

Question 4

What description does hbr.org use for social previews?

Accepted Answer

hbr.org's social description reads: "Find new ideas and classic advice on strategy, innovation and leadership, for global leaders from the world's best business and management experts." (147 characters).

Question 5

What's the biggest issue with hbr.org's Slack preview?

Accepted Answer

No social share image found. Without an image, your shared links get significantly fewer clicks. Posts with images receive 2-3x more engagement.

Question 6

How can I improve hbr.org'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`.
