The Reality: LLMs with search capabilities aggressively prioritize recency for any time-sensitive query. “Latest,” “2024,” “current,” or “now” trigger freshness requirements.

Implementation:Update timestamps visibly. Display both publication and last-updated dates prominently. Use schema markup for datePublished and dateModified.Refresh cornerstone content regularly. Monthly updates to key pages with new data, examples, or developments. Change 20-30% of the content to trigger meaningful freshness signals.Publish timely takes on industry developments. When news breaks in your domain, publish analysis within 24-48 hours. First-mover advantage is real in AI visibility.

Maintain “living documents” for evolving topics. Create changelog sections showing what’s been updated.

This signals active maintenance to AI systems:
