Want to share with all of you what I discovered on LinkedIn this morning...
And, it has been tested and was shared by SEO - Focused Content Marketer Ross Hudgens.
Thank YOU Tony... and THANK YOU for READING my question.
Sadly, reading the comments to Kyle's comment below, proves to me just how many members have NOT read what I wrote.
This makes perfect sense to me...he's being transparent, showing when the article was first published and last updated -- this is an excellent way to show the article's relevance.

Makes sense! People want to read the most current information, not something that was published months or years ago.
Yes Mary, you are sooo right.
When I read Ross's tip, I realized how true his suggestion is, simply because I too am guilty for overlooking older posts for the recent one, in my SERPs.
If the update to your page was meaningful enough, then show the last updated. You don't need to show the Publish date if you are updating your content, and that is something that you actually wouldn't want.
If you are trying to "trick" Google by simply making a small edit to update the date, then that won't work however. If you are going to be making a useful update to improve your content, then that can positively impact your rankings.
So your actual content is going to impact your rankings, not a mere "date" change. Google is far more advanced than this line of thinking.
No trick Kyle... just a shared tip I learned on LinkedIn today.
And, you obviously agree with what Ross Hudgens shared.
Thank You!
Yep, I think the point here is that you need to be creating quality, useful content - whether you're publishing something for the first time or updating it. Either way, quality not garbage with the intention of tricking Google.

Do you show publish date, last updated, or both?

If so, does your search textbox return a proper search result?
I have one site left to convert to the Block Editor and I am wondering if THAT is the issue, or something
I use GP premium and Classic Editor. However, the way I use it is to set the layout, add feature image, disable the title, image and footer, then save as draft to use Elementor to style the page.
I dont know if the search action is affected in any way.

Hi there, Trish,
I am using Generate Press Premium. Actually, my GP plugin was installed by someone that I have as an Authorized User on my site. So, I didn't personally install it, if that makes sense.
In terms of the Search Box, I am getting desired results.

If so, private message me, as I have a URL to share with you.
I tried applying but sadly 😥 they do NOT accept ANYONE outside of the United States.
I would
Hey Trish ,i know Joe (

is in the dog niche, but is having issues at the moment ( tripped over his cat and broke his back and now recovering)...
would it be possible to inform him of the opportunity...
many thanks

Thanks Phil, please let him know, as I will only offer the URL if requested. I'm NOT a pusher... LOL!
So far... one member whose niche is pets has already asked, AND this is a time-limited offer from the vendor, I'm certain of it... so, if Joe isn't online for days, then that offering may have already been fulfilled.
