Content Freshness
Content Freshness measures how recent your content is. Search engines and AI prioritize up-to-date information, especially for fast-moving topics like technology and regulation.
Why It Matters for GEO
Perplexity and ChatGPT give a boost to recent content. An article from 2023 will be cited less than an equivalent from 2025, even if the substance is similar.
