# A local page change should leave a decision record

Local pages change often: a service expands, hours shift, a phone route moves,
or seasonal guidance becomes outdated. Without a small decision record, the
website and public profiles drift apart.

## Capture six fields before publishing

Record the exact claim being changed, its source, affected URLs and profiles,
the editor, approval, and the date when it must be reviewed again. When the
change concerns a location, distinguish a real office from a service area.

The technical side belongs in the same record. Note whether the change affects
the title, canonical, structured data, internal links, sitemap, redirect map,
form route, analytics event, or campaign destination. A copy edit can change
more than the sentence a reviewer sees.

## Verify the public result

After release, request the canonical page, check the rendered fact, follow the
important link, and test the customer action. If the change also belongs on a
business profile or campaign, verify those surfaces separately. Keep the
record open until every owned destination agrees.
