Step 4: Verify Your Business on Apple Maps

Apple requires verification to prevent fake listings. You can verify your business in several ways:

  • Phone or email verification
  • Mail verification (Apple sends a postcard with a code)
  • Uploading an invoice (e.g., a utility bill or lease that confirms your business address)

Complete the verification process, and Apple will review and approve your listing.

Step 5: Optimize Your Listing with Photos and a Business Description

A detailed, visually appealing listing helps you stand out.

  • Upload high-quality photos of your business, products, or services.
  • Write a compelling description that highlights what makes your business unique.
  • Add business hours, social media links, and additional details like accepted payment methods or parking availability.

Step 6: Keep Your Profile Up to Date

Regular updates help maintain customer trust and improve visibility.

  • Adjust your hours during holidays or special events.
  • Upload new photos to showcase seasonal updates or promotions.
  • Monitor and respond to reviews—while Apple Maps pulls reviews from third-party sites, keeping your Yelp and TripAdvisor profiles in good shape can positively impact your Apple Maps presence.
