I am working on Website developed by ANgular+Nojdejs. I work now especially on SEO. I noticed that my pages are displayed with the wrong dates in google search results. I am using several structured data to communicate the right date to google but it is still wrong. I am also using google news (XML file with RSS FEED format).

Here is an example of what I am using in my code :

** JSON LD Example :**

"dateCreated": "2023-3-23T15:23:00+0000",
"datePublished": "2023-3-23T15:23:00+0000",
"dateModified": "2023-3-23T15:23:00+0000",

** Meta :**

<meta name="article:published_time" content="2023-3-23T15:23:00+0000">
<meta name="article:modified_time" content="2023-3-23T15:23:00+0000">
<meta name="itemprop:datePublished" content="2023-3-23T15:23:00+0000">
<meta name="itemprop:dateModified" content="2023-3-23T15:23:00+0000">

** XML File of RSS FEED**

<item>
     <pubDate>Thu, 23 Mar 2023 15:23:00 +0000</pubDate>
<item>

But it still displayed wrong in google when I search for the title of a new article with 8 hours shift between displayed date and publication date time. Have you any idea ?

  • "2023-3-23" should be "2023-03-23" although I don't see how that would lead to a wrong date, as opposed to a missing date.

  • these date data I see them in the source view Ctrl+U only in the article page (../single/) not in the Home page. I do not have this info in the main page of the website.

  • After adding your fix and somes other parameters, it works for me : (0100 at the end) ` "inLanguage": "fr-FR", "dateCreated": "2023-03-24T17:07:00+0100", "datePublished": "2023-03-24T17:07:00+0100", "dateModified": "2023-03-24T17:07:00+0100", ` Thank you

It’s funny, but it seems like you’ve already answered your own question in the comments! You mentioned checking the structured data, which is indeed the most likely cause of the problem. Great job—it’s always nice to see someone on the right track!

So, make sure your structured data is correctly implemented and up-to-date, request reindexing through Google Search Console, and check for any conflicting data on the page.

If you want to dive deeper into the topic, you might want to check out Google’s documentation on structured data.

Great work, and remember—sometimes the best detectives are ourselves! 😄

One useful tip: check if there are any cached versions of the page with outdated information. Sometimes, the issue may be due to Google displaying an old version of the page from its cache that hasn’t been updated yet. In this case, you can try using Google’s “Remove Outdated Content” tool in Google Search Console to speed up the process of updating the data in search results.​
