How to List Your Business
on
Apple Maps
Apple Maps is the default mapping app on Apple iPhones, used by millions of people every day. It is critical for your small business to be listed correctly on Apple Maps so that potential customers using their smartphones can find you when they're searching for your products or services.
1
Go to the Apple Maps Connect site at mapsconnect.apple.com. You can sign in using your Apple ID. If you don't have an Apple ID, you will need to create one. Next you can review and accept the Apple Maps Connect terms of service.
2
On the next page, you can search for your business by name and location. If your business is not already listed on Apple Maps, you will be prompted to "Add new place."
3
Next, you can add or confirm basic information about your business: Your name and phone number, along with your business category. It is important for this information to be complete and consistent with your listings in other places (your website, social media accounts, Google My Business). Search engines look for consistent listings across the internet to validate that your business is legitimate; you want this info to be identical everywhere it appears.

To confirm that your listing is correct, Apple will call the phone number you provide. You can verify this later.
5
Next you can add or correct your business address. Again, make sure this info is consistent with all your other business listings.
6
You now have the opportunity to place a pin on a satellite view of your business location to show visitors exactly where your front door is. This will help customers find your business more easily.
7
On the next two pages, you should verify your operating hours, website URL and social media links.
8
Finally, you can review all of the information you've submitted to make sure it's correct. Click the button "Submit for review" to submit this listing. If additional verification is needed, you may hear from Apple to confirm. Otherwise, your small business listing should appear on Apple Maps within a week.
