        "text": "AI answer engines do favor **fresh, well-dated examples and stats**, especially in fast-moving topics like software or marketing.\n\nStale content can still be cited, but fresher, clearly updated pages are more attractive sources when answers reference time-sensitive facts.\n\nKey factors:\n- Visible publish and update dates on articles and guides\n- Regularly refreshed examples, screenshots, and feature descriptions\n- Removal or updating of outdated claims and deprecated features\n- Versioning for major process or product changes\n\nSet a cadence to revisit priority pages every 3–6 months, updating claims, data, and examples.\n\nThis helps AI systems trust your content when users ask “latest” or “2026” style questions.",
