Freshness: dates and updates for AI search

By the Answerbid teamVerified 12 October 20262 min read

Short answer

Buyers and AI systems both need to know whether a fact is current. Put a visible "updated" date on important pages, date your statistics, and refresh pages when prices, features or integrations change. An outdated fact is worse than none.

Quarterly refresh

  1. List pages cited in AI answers
  2. Check every number and price
  3. Update the date only when content changes
  4. Request recrawl through Search Console and IndexNow

Questions

Does changing the date alone help?

No. Change content, then the date.
