    Hello the great RankMath Team

    I am using WordPress with permalink as domain/post_name

    Although my theme provide modified and published date and theses info shown in the google structure test
    I have noted that the date doesn’t appear in the SERP as shown in the second result

    My questions are
    – Why the date does not appear in SERP
    – Is it important to show this date in SERP?
    – What’re the preferred permalinks for SEO? domain/post_name or domain/date/post_name
    – Can I overcome this issue by adding %modified% %sep% %seo_description% in rank math > schema

  • Thanks for getting in touch with us.

    You can do that by showing the last update date on your posts. I am not sure where the option in your theme might be for that but please check your theme options.

    If you can’t find the option, please contact your theme provider.

    Once the date is showing up on the posts, Google will pick that up and show the date in the SERPs for your website.

    Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

    thanks for your reply

    but to be honest it’s not clear!

    Hi,

    – Why the date does not appear in SERP
    Because you might not be showing it inside your post.

    – Is it important to show this date in SERP?
    No, it is not important. For some niches, it is a disadvantage while for some it can improve CTR.

    – What’re the preferred permalinks for SEO? domain/post_name or domain/date/post_name
    Use domain/post_name.

    – Can I overcome this issue by adding %modified% %sep% %seo_description% in rank math > schema
    No, that will not do anything.

    Please check my first reply above and use a date inside your post content. If you don’t know how, ask your theme provider.

    Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
