Substantive updates every 30–90 days with a visible 'Last Updated' timestamp. Perplexity weights content updated within the last 30 days most heavily. Cosmetic date changes without content updates are flagged by AI platforms and reduce citation probability.
Through: author schema with credentials, verifiable first-person experience markers, 3–5 sourced statistics per 1,000 words, 'Last Updated' timestamp, and links to authoritative external sources. These improve both Google E-E-A-T scoring and AI platform citation probability.
