Dates in Woocommerce Product SERP

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.

Please read this article:

Google won’t give a definitive, single answer for how they pick a date. There are several ways through which Google picks the date to be shown in the search results.

One of the most prominent ways (in our experience), is the date shown by the theme on the page. Google usually picks and shows the date they see in the content itself and show it in the SERPs.

Since this can not be controlled by an SEO plugin, we do not show the date in our SERP preview.

But, we do add the correct date in the Schema Markup generated by the plugin:

Hello,

Thank you for keeping in touch with us.

I was trying to view a product page but it won’t let me as I was greeted with a security page.

Google usually takes the date from your product front page. That date field is added to your post by your theme. Rank Math does not add it to your pages. It only adds it to the OG tags which should not have any effect on whether Google picks that date or not.

Please contact your theme developer for help removing the code related to dates from your theme.

Let me know if it resolves the issue. We are looking forward to helping you.
