        "text": "Regularly updated content has a clear advantage in Google AI Overviews, especially in fast-changing topics. Stale pages are less likely to be trusted as sources for current answers.\n\nGoogle’s AI looks at freshness signals like updated dates, changing examples, and revised details. Pages that reflect recent realities, new options, or seasonal changes show that you’re actively maintaining accuracy, which matters for AI summarization.\n\nKey factors:\n- Visible last-updated dates on key pages\n- Periodic content reviews and revisions\n- Incorporating new data, examples, or product changes\n- Refreshing FAQs as user questions evolve\n\nPractically, set a schedule to review your most important AI Overview–targeted pages every 3–6 months, updating specifics, clarifying answers, and expanding FAQs. Mark the updated date and ensure schema reflects the changes.\n\nSoft positioning: AI Overview inclusion tends to favor sites that treat content as a living asset, not a one-time publication.",
