: How to update the date on Google search results? For a blog entry, I have this meta tags: <meta property="article:published_time" content="2015-09-07T21:54:43+00:00" /> <meta property="article:modified_time"
For a blog entry, I have this meta tags:
<meta property="article:published_time" content="2015-09-07T21:54:43+00:00" />
<meta property="article:modified_time" content="2015-11-13T13:28:21+00:00" />
<meta property="og:updated_time" content="2015-11-13T13:28:21+00:00" />
However, Google only shows the published time on the search results (2015-09-07). I want it to show the last modified time (2015-11-13). What do I need to add in order to achieve this?
I compare my site with others like WPBeginner in which Google shows the updated time. The only difference in the HTML code is this meta tag:
<meta name="revised" content="Tuesday, October 20, 2015, 10:05 am" />
Nevertheless, I added this last meta tag to my site too but nothing happened.
Also, my XML sitemap includes <lastmod> information.

The solution is to only have one date visible. Thus, the published date should not be visible and the modified date should be the one in the article.
Here there is a good research, and mentions:
It is known that Google looks specifically for a date just under the first H1 tag. This is because blogs often put dates in this location.
After I made this change, Google showed the last modified time (in less than 12 hours).
