TRUST_DATES_MISSING

Article shows no publication or update date

No automatic fix — this needs a manual change on your site

What this check looks at

Whether an article-like page shows a published date (visible, in meta tags or in JSON-LD), and whether a page published more than 12 months ago also shows a last-updated date.

Why AI answer engines care

Dates tell readers and AI engines how current a page is. Undated content is harder to trust and is more likely to be passed over for fresher sources.

Does Synviber fix it for me?

Not currently — this one needs a manual change on your own site or infrastructure; Synviber can detect it but does not publish an automatic fix for it today.
