dateModified equals datePublished - content has never been updated
datePublished and dateModified are schema fields that record when a page first went live and when it was last substantively edited. This check found the two dates are identical, so the markup does not show a later content update.
Why this matters
For time-sensitive topics, a missing or unchanged update signal can make it harder for readers and systems to judge whether the page is current. This finding does not prove an AI ranking penalty or citation loss on its own.
How to fix it
Refresh important content when the facts, examples or recommendations have materially changed, and update dateModified only when a real edit occurs. Do not change dates simply to look fresh; pair this with prompt-panel and traffic evidence to judge impact.
