Hello, we apologize for the issue you are facing with the date displayed in the SERPs for your website. It seems that the current date is not aligning correctly between your website and what is shown in search results.
When using the %currentdate% variable in Rank Math, it should reflect the current date as per your server’s time settings. However, if there is a discrepancy, it could be due to several factors:
-
Server Time Settings: Ensure that your server’s timezone is set correctly. If your server is set to a different timezone, it may display a date that is one day behind or ahead.
-
Caching Issues: Sometimes, caching plugins or server-side caching can cause outdated information to be displayed. Clear any caches to see if that resolves the issue.
-
Google’s Crawling: Google may take some time to update its index after changes are made on your site. If you’ve recently made changes, it might take a while for those to reflect in the SERPs.
-
Structured Data: Ensure that your structured data does not have conflicting date information that could confuse search engines.
If you have checked these factors and the issue persists, we recommend replying to this ticket so a human agent from the Rank Math Support team can assist you further with this specific issue. Thank you for bringing this concern to our attention!

Hello,
We checked your website and we can Rank Math is adding the meta title with the current date:
However, if you see the previous date on Google’s SERPs that means Google hasn’t crawled and updated the meta title yet. Please note that Google assigns a crawl budget to your website depending on a lot of factors (especially your posting frequency + the domain authority) and that has a direct effect on how soon or how late your content can get indexed/updated on SREPs.
Hope that helps and please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any other questions.
Thank you.
