The article has a publication date but no modification date. If you maintain your content, dateModified is what says so. Without it an updated article still looks as old as the day it was written.
Only the original publication date is declared:
{
"@type": "Article",
"datePublished": "2023-04-02"
}Add dateModified and keep it accurate when you revise the page:
{
"@type": "Article",
"datePublished": "2023-04-02",
"dateModified": "2026-03-02"
}An accurate modification date is how a maintained page distinguishes itself from an abandoned one covering the same subject.
