Question 1

What is weather.com's Open Graph type?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 2

Does weather.com have a social share image?

Accepted Answer

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

Accepted Answer

weather.com's social headline is "National and Local Weather Radar, Daily Forecast, Hurricane and information from The Weather Channel…" (116 characters).

Question 4

What description does weather.com use for social previews?

Accepted Answer

weather.com's social description reads: "The Weather Channel and weather.com provide a national and local weather forecast for cities, as well as weather radar, report and hurricane coverage" (149 characters).

Question 5

What's the biggest issue with weather.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 6

How can I improve weather.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`.
