The direct answer

Descriptions are part of the offer customers encounter before visiting. A template can advertise a service that one branch does not provide.

What to check

Compare each description with approved branch capabilities. Check legacy services and special offers that may have ended.

What to do next

Rewrite the description to match the real page and business offering. A concise, accurate invitation is more useful than a persuasive promise the receiving team cannot fulfill.
