The direct answer

A redesign can reuse an old phone number even when the new page looks correct. Trace the number to its source before changing the visible text.

What to check

Check the header, footer, phone button, structured data and inquiry confirmation separately. A correct paragraph does not prove the clickable telephone destination is correct.

What to do next

Keep one approved number per location in a shared business record. Update the template and test the actual dial destination; do not merely hide the incorrect number with CSS.

The review pattern behind this topic

An anonymized public review found different contact information across location pages and shared templates. That pattern is the basis for this topic; it does not establish a measured loss of customers.
