Question 1

What is research.google's Open Graph type?

Accepted Answer

research.google declares `og:type` as `Website`. This tells Slack how to categorize the content when generating a preview.

Question 2

Does research.google declare image dimensions?

Accepted Answer

research.google 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 research.google use for social previews?

Accepted Answer

research.google's social headline is "Google Research - Explore Our Latest Research in Science and AI" (63 characters).

Question 4

What description does research.google use for social previews?

Accepted Answer

research.google's social description reads: "Discover Google Research. We publish research papers across a wide range of domains and share our latest developments in AI and science research." (145 characters).

Question 5

What's the biggest issue with research.google'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 6

How can I improve research.google'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`.
