Get found first on Apple Maps.

Yes — as of April 14, 2026 Apple folded Apple Business Connect (along with Business Manager and Business Essentials) into one platform simply called Apple Business. Every existing Business Connect detail — claimed locations, place cards, photos, logos, and account info — migrated automatically. The free listing tools you knew as Business Connect now live inside Apple Business, and that’s exactly what we set up and manage for you.

Different map, same idea — with far less competition. Your Apple profile powers search on every iPhone plus Siri, Spotlight, CarPlay, and Safari. Roughly 58% of US businesses have never claimed their Apple listing and only about 16% actively manage one, so a well-optimized profile can stand out fast. We manage both so your hours, photos, and info stay consistent across Google and Apple — Apple even cross-references your Google and Yelp listings for accuracy.

No. Apple Business now supports service-area and online-only brands, not just businesses with a walk-in location. We’ll set up the right profile type, define your service area, and make sure your brand name, logo, and one-tap actions show up correctly everywhere Apple surfaces them.

Apple Maps Ads roll out across the US and Canada in summer 2026. They’re auction-based and you only pay on an outcome — a view or a tap — with budgets you set and the freedom to start or stop anytime. We get your profile fully claimed and optimized now so you’re ready to launch on day one and grab premium placement before your competitors even notice.

No. Apple’s ad system is built privacy-first: a user’s location and the ads they see aren’t tied to their Apple Account, processing happens on-device, and targeting uses context (the search term, an approximate location, and the area of the map on screen) instead of personal tracking. It’s one of the cleanest ad environments available — and a real trust signal for iPhone-heavy audiences.

Claiming and verifying usually takes the first week, and an optimized place card can start surfacing in Maps and Siri searches within days. Rankings climb as we tighten NAP consistency across Google, Yelp, and Tripadvisor, add Showcases and Actions, and engagement (calls, directions, action taps) builds. Most clients see meaningful movement in 30–60 days — the same window as local SEO.

Everything. Claiming and verifying your location, your Brand Profile (name + logo across Apple), a rich place card (photos, hours, attributes, categories), monthly Showcases for offers and seasonal promos, one-tap Custom Actions (book, order, reserve, pay) wired to your tools with UTM tracking, Look Around imagery where it helps, and — when it launches — your Apple Maps Ads. You get monthly reporting from Apple’s Location Insights. See how it fits the rest of our SEO program.

Yes. We handle everything from single locations to large multi-location and franchise portfolios, keeping every place card consistent and on-brand. For bigger portfolios we use Apple Business’s bulk tools (and the API where it makes sense) so an update rolls out everywhere at once. Book a free audit and we’ll map out all of your locations.
