What it checks

Visible page text for lorem ipsum, bracketed placeholders, TODO markers and sample contact details.

Why it matters

Template text makes the product look unfinished and untrustworthy to visitors and reviewers.

Recommended fix

Replace every placeholder with real copy or remove the section.

How to verify

Search the live page for each phrase in the evidence and confirm none remain.

Example fix prompt

Generic prompt (your report adds the evidence)
Please fix this production issue in my app.

Issue SEO-010: Placeholder text left on the page
Site: https://your-app.example

First confirm the issue in the code or live config. If it is not present, say so and change nothing.
Task: Find and replace the placeholder text listed in the evidence with real content (or remove the section). Search the whole codebase for the same placeholders, including lorem ipsum, TODO and sample emails or phone numbers.

Constraints: make the smallest change that fixes this, keep the current design and behaviour, never paste secret values into code or chat, and tell me which files you changed.
Done when: Search the live page for each phrase in the evidence and confirm none remain.
