How to Claim and Update Your Apple Maps Listing

Apple Maps is the default map on every iPhone, so your listing is often the first thing a new patient sees. Apple Business is Apple’s free tool for claiming that listing and controlling your hours, contact details, and photos.

Already claimed your listing with Apple Business Connect? Apple replaced Business Connect with Apple Business in April 2026. Your listing and photos moved over automatically, so just sign in at the new address and skip to Update your listing.

Before you start

Have these ready so you can finish in one sitting:

An Apple Account. If you don’t have one, you can create one for free when you sign in. You’ll need a mobile number for two-factor authentication.
Your practice details. Name, address, phone number, website, and hours, written exactly as they appear on your website and Google Business Profile.
Your logo and a few photos. These make your listing stand out once it’s verified.
Someone to answer the practice phone. Apple may call your business number with a verification code.

Claim and verify your listing

Sign in. Go to business.apple.com and sign in with your Apple Account.
Search for your practice. Search by your practice name and city, phone number, or address.
Claim it or add it. If your practice appears, select it and choose Claim this place. If nothing comes up, choose the option to add a new location.
Fill in your details. Confirm or add your address, phone number, website, hours, and business category. Fill out as much as you can.
Verify that you own the practice. Apple will give you verification options, such as a phone call to your business number with a code. Follow the prompts to finish.

Approval usually takes anywhere from a few hours to 7 days, depending on the verification method. Once you’re verified, you can add photos and finish your listing.

Update your listing

Sign in at business.apple.com.
Select your practice location. If you have more than one, search for the location you want to update.
Open your location’s Info section and edit the details that need changing, such as hours, phone number, or website.
Add or replace your logo and photos. A clear logo and a bright photo of your practice make the strongest first impression.
Save your changes.

Apple reviews every change before it goes live, so updates can take a few days to show on Apple Maps.

Tips

Keep your details consistent. Your name, address, and phone number should match your website and Google Business Profile exactly. Small differences can confuse search results.
Claim your existing listing instead of adding a new one. Apple often has a listing for your practice already, built from public data. Adding a second one creates a duplicate.
Check in a few times a year. Update holiday hours, new photos, or any changes to your services.
It’s free. Claiming and managing your Apple Maps listing costs nothing.
