Issue: Placeholder Content High

What this means

SEODiff detected placeholder text on the page — content that was meant to be replaced during development but ended up in production. This is a clear quality signal to search engines and AI systems that the page isn't ready. The JSON field is placeholders.

Detection condition

Triggered when PlaceholderHit is non-empty. SEODiff scans for common placeholder patterns including:

• lorem ipsum — the classic design placeholder
• TODO, FIXME, PLACEHOLDER
• Coming soon, Under construction
• Repeating dummy text patterns

Impact on scores

Severity weight: 12. Deductions: −10 on Content score. Placeholder pages are a strong negative signal — they indicate the site has unfinished pages live in production.

How to fix

1. Search your CMS/database for pages containing the flagged placeholder text.
2. Replace with real content or unpublish the page (return 404 or noindex).
3. Add pre-publish validation in your CMS to block pages with placeholder text.
4. For pSEO: add checks in your template pipeline that reject entries with no real data.
