Apple launched Business Connect on 11 January, giving businesses worldwide a free way to claim and edit their location listings in Maps. The updated place information also appears in Messages, Wallet and Siri.
Owners can add photos and logos, and offer customers actions such as food orders or reservations. Registration uses an Apple ID; businesses must be verified before they can claim locations.
Showcases lets businesses promote offers on their listings. It’s available in the US today, with other countries due in the coming months.
For chains, an API supports listing updates through management agencies.
