# Freshness

> Never publish stale facts again.

**AI Visibility**

**Never publish stale facts again.** This agent scans content for outdated dates, statistics, and references.

*Part of Markup AI's AI-search optimization suite — GEO/AEO (generative / answer engine optimization) for visibility in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. Among these tools, this one targets stale information rather than sourcing, structure, or summaries.*

## What it catches

The exact sentences and links that reference outdated information — old years, expired statistics, dead references — so writers can refresh them before publishing.

## Why it matters

Stale facts quietly erode trust with readers and visibility in AI search. Freshness is one of the signals generative engines weigh when choosing what to cite.
