Question 1

Does metacritic.com declare an og:type?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 2

Does metacritic.com have a social share image?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 3

What headline does metacritic.com use for social previews?

Accepted Answer

metacritic.com's social headline is "Movie Reviews, TV Reviews, Game Reviews, and Music Reviews - Metacritic" (71 characters).

Question 4

What description does metacritic.com use for social previews?

Accepted Answer

metacritic.com's social description reads: "Metacritic aggregates music, game, tv, and movie reviews from the leading critics. Only Metacritic.com uses METASCORES, which let you know at a glance…" (178 characters).

Question 5

What's the biggest issue with metacritic.com's LinkedIn 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 metacritic.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` (1200×627), a clear `og:title` under 60 characters, and a 50-155 character `og:description`.
