An AI answer describes an old price, trial length or feature set. The first response should be an evidence audit rather than publishing another generic article. The answer may use a third-party directory, an outdated owned page or an old image. Each source needs its own correction, and no publisher can guarantee when a model or search system will use the revision.

How to run the investigation
Capture the exact answer
Save the question, answer date, cited URLs and the specific statements that are wrong. Inspect citations attached to each claim rather than assuming the image source supplied the entire description. One example does not establish how often the error appears.
Build a current fact sheet
Confirm the canonical brand name, product capabilities, plan names, monthly versus annual pricing and trial conditions against the live product. Remove unsupported outcome claims. Put the facts on a crawlable owned page and make visible text and structured data agree.
Repair the cited surfaces
Update owned pages and authorized directory listings. For a listing you cannot edit, prepare a precise correction with the current official reference. Keep a change log and do not pay for an unnecessary relaunch merely to change a description.
Recheck without overclaiming
Record when each source changes and whether it is crawlable. Repeat a small, consistent set of questions over time, saving citations and dates. Separate source correction, recrawl, changed AI answers and referral visits; they are four different observations.
Decision worksheet
Use these rows to turn the investigation into an action. Add the actual account, date range, evidence and owner before sharing it with a client.
| What you find | Interpretation | Next move |
|---|---|---|
| Old image, current text | Media may be stale independently | Update the image source as well as description. |
| Directory repeats retired plan names | Third-party facts are stale | Correct the listing if authorized. |
| Owned pages disagree on pricing | Canonical facts are inconsistent | Reconcile the visible and machine-readable references. |

Worked example: an illustration, not a customer result
Imagine an answer cites a directory for a seven-day trial while the live product offers three days. Updating a blog post elsewhere does not fix that cited statement. Correct the directory, the owned facts page and any contradictory references, then watch for recrawl and answer changes. Do not promise that the next chat will immediately use the new wording.

A question worth asking
Will llms.txt force ChatGPT or Google to use my latest description?
No. It can be an optional reference, but it does not control answers. Prioritize accurate, accessible public pages and the sources actually cited. Google says no special AI text file is required for its Search AI features.
