Question 1

What is linkedin.com's Open Graph type?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 2

Does linkedin.com have a social share image?

Accepted Answer

No - linkedin.com 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 linkedin.com use for social previews?

Accepted Answer

linkedin.com's social headline is "LinkedIn: Log In or Sign Up" (27 characters).

Question 4

What description does linkedin.com use for social previews?

Accepted Answer

linkedin.com's social description reads: "1 billion members | Manage your professional identity. Build and engage with your professional network. Access knowledge, insights and opportunities." (149 characters).

Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

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

Question 6

What's the biggest issue with linkedin.com'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 7

How can I improve linkedin.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`.
