Apple Maps business listing: setting up Apple Business Connect

2 min read · Updated

The short answer

Your Apple Maps business listing is managed through Apple Business Connect, which is free. Claim your place card, verify you run the business, and correct the name, hours, phone and photos. iPhone users searching in Maps or asking Siri see this listing, so an old phone number here gets called.

Set it up

  1. Sign in to Apple Business Connect with an Apple Account.
  2. Search for your business and claim it, or add it if it isn't there.
  3. Verify, using the method Apple offers.
  4. Fill in hours, phone, website, categories and photos.

Why it matters

Apple Maps is the default map on iPhones, and Siri answers from it. Many owners have never looked at their Apple listing, and it can quietly hold an old address or closed hours.

Keep it matched

When you change hours on Google, change them here too. The same goes for Bing Places. Three listings that agree are worth more than one perfect one.
