Remove an outdated promise from copied service summaries

A discontinued feature appears in a homepage card, profile introduction and downloadable brochure even after the main service page is corrected. Visitors still encounter the old promise.

What to change

Search for the specific claim and inspect each occurrence in context. Replace it with accurate information rather than assuming that updating the main page controls all summaries.

A worked example

Illustrative example

A practice no longer includes a printed report in one appointment. The main page and every summary that mentioned the report are corrected, while the route for requesting additional documents is explained separately.

How to check the result

A visitor entering through a short summary receives the same current expectation as someone reading the full service page.

A mistake to avoid

Do not replace an obsolete promise with a vague equivalent that still implies the same unavailable feature.

Your action checklist

Use these checks to prepare a discussion with your team or supplier. Tick a check when you have recorded the decision or evidence, rather than when a feature has simply been promised.
