Platform guidance

Maintenance matters; fake freshness does not

Keeping information accurate and technically healthy is useful. Changing dates merely to appear fresh is a different thing.

What maintenance is for

Businesses, regulations, services, competitors, software and customer questions change. Websites should be reviewed so they remain accurate, useful and technically healthy.

What it should not become

A routine of changing dates or adding low-value text solely to create the appearance of freshness.

Ozmov practice

Observe search and business conditions, update material when something meaningful changes, repair technical issues and expand content when there is genuinely more useful information to add.
