        "text": "If AI Overviews show outdated or wrong info about your topic, you can’t directly edit them, but you can influence future answers by publishing fresher, better‑cited content and earning authority for those queries. Over time, AI will gravitate to more current sources.\n\nSearch engines re‑crawl and re‑evaluate topics continuously. When your page becomes the best, most recent explanation, it’s more likely to replace weaker sources in AI answers.\n\nKey factors:\n- Update dates and versioning on key content\n- Cite recent data, studies, and examples\n- Use clear language that corrects common misconceptions\n- Build links and mentions to reinforce your updated view\n\nCreate “evergreen but updated” guides explicitly addressing the outdated advice you’re seeing, and structure them with sharp Q&A passages. Promote them through newsletters or partnerships to attract references.\n\nYou’re playing a long game: reshape the information landscape so the AI has better material to work with.",
