How to Use Apple Business Connect: A Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Register for Business Connect
Business owners can use their existing Apple ID — or create a new Apple ID — to register for Business Connect at the self-service website from any desktop or laptop computer. Once a business has logged in and Apple has verified their business, they can claim their location(s) and begin updating and personalizing their place card, all for free.
Step 2: Customize Your Place Card
With Business Connect, businesses can directly manage their information in the interactive Apple Maps place card. This includes adding and updating photos and logos, inviting customers to take actions like ordering food or making a reservation directly from Maps, and presenting customers with special promotions.
Step 3: Utilize the Showcase Feature
Showcases, a new feature in the place card, helps businesses present customers with offers and incentives, like seasonal menu items, product discounts, and more. Businesses can easily update the Showcase section of their place card through Business Connect.
Step 4: Highlight Actions for Customers
Businesses can provide customers with useful information by highlighting actions they can take directly from the Maps place cards, like ordering online, making a hotel reservation through a place like Booking.com, reserving a spot for dinner with OpenTable, and more, with just a tap.
Step 5: Understand Your Impact
Apple Business Connect also gives your business insights into how customers find and interact with their place cards, showcases, and actions. This data can be used by you to optimize your card and adjust it for a bigger impact.
