SEO Google Date Rich Snippet & Object Last Updated

This CS-Cart SEO addon enables support for the Google last updated rich date snippet, which in hand introduces further features to your storefront, admin, and further development endevours. Each supported CS-Cart object type displays a human readable last updated date in admin and storefront, which attempts to trigger Google last updated rich snippet. Although this addon does its best, it is up to the Google algorithm to display the last updated date.

So what is the last updated rich snippet? When viewing a Google search result, you may notice that some sites/stores display a date after the green URL line, but before the meta description begins. This is the last updated timestamp, which is a sign of freshness. Savvy users choosing a Google result to click on will notice the date.

How does this help CS-Cart Admins? In admin, the additional timestamp helps teams understand when a supported object was last modified, for basic audit purposes at the least. It also helps percolate old content when browsing or maintaining. Realizations like "wow has it been that long since we updated this" can help ignite idle funnels.

Are you an addon developer? This addon also extends supported object types to include last updated mechanisms. These should always reliably update the latest epoch at save, assuming it was evoked via standard CS-Cart procedures. Addon uninstall is protected, so unless explicitly required, database fields and last timestamps are preserved, and your work has a fallback data source to rely on.
