City-Specific Descriptions

By default, every city page uses the same service descriptions. But if you want a different description for a specific service in a specific city, you can add a city-specific override directly inside that service’s entry.

For example: the description for “Roof Repair” might be slightly different for Eagle Pass vs. Del Rio to reflect local conditions.

Where to Find It

City-specific descriptions are managed from inside the services collection, not from a separate place in the sidebar.

1. Log in to Directus.
2. Click Content in the left sidebar.
3. Click services.
4. Click the service you want to customize (e.g., “Roof Repair”).
5. Scroll down to the City Descriptions section inside that service entry.

How It Works

When the website loads a city services page, it checks for a city-specific description first. If one exists for that city + service combination, it uses that. If not, it falls back to the default description set on the service itself.

Caution

The City Slug you type must match the city’s slug in the settings Cities field exactly, including capitalization and dashes. For example: eagle-pass not Eagle Pass or eaglepass.
