Last Updated Date

Publishes truthful last-updated or reviewed dates, tied to a real content event rather than the build time.

What it does

Publishes truthful last-updated or reviewed dates, tied to a real content event rather than the build time.

When to use it

Use for article freshness, policy revision dates, or auditing automatically refreshed, misleading dates.

Problems it prevents

Stops a 'last updated today' date that's actually just today's automated build timestamp.

Typical workflow

  1. Choose what the date actually means
  2. Tie it to a real content event
  3. Add dateModified structured data
  4. Flag genuinely stale content

Example output

A date stamp that changes only when the content genuinely changes, matched by structured data.
