    Your Apple Maps place card tells people where you are, when you’re open, and why they should choose you. It’s your first impression. Make it count.

    What Is Apple Business Connect?

    Apple Business Connect is a free tool from Apple that puts you in the driver’s seat. You can:

    • Claim and verify your business
    • Update your contact info, hours, and website
    • Add real photos (ditch the stock images)
    • See how customers interact with your listing
    • Respond to reviews

    Think of it as your control center for Apple Maps. Ready to stand out? Let’s dive in.

    5 Steps to Optimize Your Apple Maps Place Card

    1. Claim Your Business

    First things first: you need to own your listing. Go to Apple Business Connect, follow the steps, and get verified. No ownership, no control. Simple as that.

    Here's a guide on how to claim your place cards on Apple Maps.

    2. Update Your Business Info

    Accuracy = trust. Double-check:

    • Business name
    • Address (formatted correctly)
    • Phone number
    • Website
    • Opening hours

    Pro tip: Keep these details the same everywhere—Google, Bing, Facebook. Consistency means customers (and search engines) trust you.

    3. Add High-Quality Photos

    People eat with their eyes—and shop with them, too. Upload real, well-lit photos of:

    • Your storefront (so people know what to look for)
    • The inside (make it inviting)
    • Your products or services

    Skip the stock photos. Authenticity wins every time.

    4. Encourage and Respond to Reviews

    Reviews are your online word-of-mouth. They boost your ranking and build trust.

    • Ask happy customers to leave a review
    • Respond to every review—fast, friendly, and professional
    • Thank your fans, address concerns, and always keep it positive

    A strong review profile = more customers through your door.

    5. Track Your Performance

    Apple Business Connect gives you the data you need:

    • Views (how many people see your listing)
    • Searches (what brings them to you)
    • Actions (calls, clicks, directions)

    Use these insights to tweak your listing and spot new opportunities. Data isn’t scary—it’s your secret weapon.
