Dates on Google Search Results
-
Hello,
I manage htts://globalrose.com
When I search on Google for "Yellow Roses", "Yellow Roses Globalrose", or any search that might bring up one of our pages, sometimes our search results appear with dates right before the description. Does anyone know what this mean? Why they appear on some and not other pages?
Here is a search result for example: Example Google Search
Can someone please help clarify this for us?

Just realised, it's most likely a post not a page e.g:
https://www.padstowsealifesafaris.co.uk/endangered-sea-life-uk/ (blog post with date stamp)
https://www.padstowsealifesafaris.co.uk/boat-trips/ (page with no date stamp.)

Hello Thomas,
Thanks for your response. Yes, this seems to be the case. Do you think this helps or hurts our SEO ranking for these pages that have testimonial dates being displayed on Google search results?
-
This is the publish date of the article. You can change this in your post settings usually. In WordPress it's the top right corner in the post dashboard.
-
My guess, is that Google is picking up this line in your code: class='testimonial-date'>Written on May 19, 2018
Which looks to be when people are leaving reviews for you?

When searching for related:katom.com on google, why isn't our website coming up?
A lot of our competitors come up but we aren't coming up. What do we need to do so that google considers us related? Our website is culinarydepotinc.com And I believe not being related to those big competitors affects our SEO, is that correct?

Google Search Analytics How to Get Search Keywords for a Page?
How do I get the keywords coming into a page on the new Google Webmaster Tools Search Analytics? Used to be there in the old version. You would just view your most popular urls and when you expanded the urls you would see the terms driving the traffic. How do I see the most popular keyword queries for a given page in the new tool? Alternatively can I still use the old tool somehow?
