Article schema has no dateModified

dateModified is a schema field that records when an article or blog post was last substantively edited, separate from datePublished, which records when it first went live. This check found your Article or BlogPosting schema has no dateModified field at all, so there's no machine-readable record of whether the page has ever been updated. AI engines weight recency heavily and lean on dateModified specifically to judge how current a piece of content is. An article with no dateModified looks undated to those systems, which lowers its odds of being cited for any query where freshness matters, even if the content was in fact updated recently. Your developer needs about 20 minutes. Add both dateModified and datePublished to your Article or BlogPosting JSON-LD, written in ISO 8601 date format (for example 2026-09-10), and update dateModified each time the page content genuinely changes. Wiring this into your content management system's save process, rather than editing it manually, keeps the date honest going forward.
