Content is internally consistent across pages
Why it matters
Factual contradictions between pages — different numbers for the same metric, pricing on the home page that doesn't match the pricing page, the product name spelled two different ways — damage credibility more than any individual error. The visitor who navigated from the home page to the pricing page and found different numbers now doesn't know which one is true, and the doubt that creates extends beyond the specific contradiction to the entire site. AI-built sites are particularly prone to cross-page inconsistency because each page was generated in a separate session: the home page might say "100+ audits" and the pricing page, generated three weeks later, says "50+ audits available." Neither is deliberately wrong — the information simply drifted.
Severity rationale
Low because cross-page factual contradictions undermine credibility at the comparison stage — visitors who found the inconsistency lose trust in the accuracy of all the site's claims.
Remediation
Search the codebase for your key claims and product name across all page files to find instances that could contradict each other:
# Find all instances of your product name, feature counts, and pricing
grep -r '100+\|50+\|2,400\|2400' src/ app/ --include='*.tsx' --include='*.mdx'
grep -r 'FlowMetrics\|Flow Metrics' src/ app/ --include='*.tsx' # substitute your product name
grep -r '\$9\|\$29\|\$79' src/ app/ --include='*.tsx' # substitute your pricing
For any metric, statistic, or pricing figure that appears in multiple places, extract it to a shared constants file and reference it everywhere:
// lib/constants.ts — single source of truth for marketing facts
export const MARKETING_FACTS = {
auditCount: '116+',
customerCount: '2,400+',
pricingMonthly: '$9/mo',
pricingYearly: '$79/yr',
productName: 'AuditBuffet', // canonical spelling and capitalization
} as const
Import MARKETING_FACTS in every page component that references these values. Future updates require changing one file.
