Question 1

What is powells.com's Open Graph type?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 2

Does powells.com declare image dimensions?

Accepted Answer

powells.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.

What headline does powells.com use for social previews?

Accepted Answer

powells.com's social headline is "Powell's Books | The World's Largest Independent Bookstore" (58 characters).

Question 4

What description does powells.com use for social previews?

Accepted Answer

powells.com's social description reads: "The Legendary Independent Bookstore" (35 characters).

Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

Missing twitter:card tag. Without this, Twitter may not show a preview card at all.

Question 6

How can I improve powells.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`.
