Imagine this: A potential customer searches for your business on their iPhone’s Maps app to check your location and hours. But they can’t find you! This scenario can happen if you don’t have a presence on Apple Maps.
Why Apple Maps Matters
While Google Maps holds a significant market share, Apple Maps holds a special position as the default map application on Apple devices, including iPhones and iPads. While users can download other mapping apps, a high percentage (around three out of four iPhone users) rely on Apple Maps. This translates to a large pool of potential customers you might miss without a listing.
How to Get Your Business on Apple Maps
Apple gathers business information and reviews from various sources, including Yelp. Therefore, claiming and updating your Yelp listing with accurate information becomes even more important. Head over to Yelp for Business and click “Manage My Free Listing” to claim and update your details.
Another way to create listings on Apple Maps is to head over to Apple Business Connect and sign in with your Apple ID. Search to see if your business is already listed on Apple Maps. If it’s not listed, claim the listing by following the on-screen instructions. Once you submit your information, Apple will typically send a verification code via mail to the address you provided. Enter the code to complete the verification process and publish your listing.
