Lorem Ipsum is Dead: FunkPd’s Smart Approach to Placeholder Text

At FunkPd Lorem Ipsum is Dead! We don’t waste time with Lorem Ipsum. It’s outdated, neutral, and does nothing for your site’s SEO. Worse, it can confuse Google’s crawlers and throw off your site’s potential ranking. We’ve left Lorem Ipsum in the past where it belongs and adopted a smarter, more efficient way of handling placeholder text: AI-generated, relevant content.

Why We Stopped Using Lorem Ipsum

Everyone knows Lorem Ipsum—it’s the design world’s go-to filler text. But at FunkPd, we see a problem with using it. It’s neutral, which means it adds no value and can confuse search engines during the indexing process. Google’s crawlers aren’t just looking at your visuals—they’re reading everything, including the placeholders. Lorem Ipsum tells them nothing, leaving your site vulnerable to poor performance in early crawling.

Instead of sticking with the past, we use AI-generated placeholders through ChatGPT that offer relevant, editable text. This keeps the structure SEO-friendly, without adding friction to your design process.

AI-Generated Placeholder Text: Smart, SEO-Friendly, and Flexible

We leverage ChatGPT to generate placeholder content that’s ‘good enough’ to be indexed by search engines without getting penalized. This means your site’s SEO foundation is solid from the start, even before the real content goes live.

The benefit? You avoid confusing Google with irrelevant filler, and your clients get a head start—they can easily modify the placeholders to fit their messaging later. It’s SEO-friendly, flexible, and modern.

Lorem Ipsum is Dead: The Problem with Traditional Placeholder Text

Designers have relied on Lorem Ipsum for centuries, but it’s outdated. Lorem Ipsum does nothing for your SEO strategy. It’s neutral, doesn’t communicate anything to search engines, and often causes issues with early site crawls.

At FunkPd, we believe placeholder text should do more than just take up space—it should prepare your site for real-world performance. That’s why we use AI-generated placeholders that are flexible enough for clients to edit and meaningful enough to keep Google’s crawlers happy.

With ChatGPT on our side, we create placeholders that reflect intent and give context to your design. This not only ensures your site is SEO-ready but also sets up your content team for success. They can take our AI-generated text and refine it, rather than starting from a blank slate or battling the irrelevance of Lorem Ipsum.
