How to Setup Business on Apple

Here is the step-by-step process to get listed:

1. Set Up Your Account

• Go to businessconnect.apple.com.

• Log in with your Apple Account (formerly Apple ID).

  • Tip: Use an account tied to your business email rather than a personal one if possible.

• Agree to the Terms of Service.

2. Enter Company Details

You will need to provide your official business information. Since you previously mentioned you don’t offer telecommunication, make sure your Business Category reflects your actual service (e.g., Consulting, Professional Services, etc.).

• Legal Name: Better Your Business.

• Address: Your headquarters or primary mailing address.

• Phone Number: Use the main line where you can receive a verification code.

• Website: Ensure you enter https://www.betteryourbusiness.us. Apple prioritizes secure (HTTPS) sites.

3. Claim or Add Your Location

• Search for your business name.

• If it exists: Click "Claim this location." This happens if Apple pulled your data from a third-party source like Yelp.

• If it doesn’t exist: Select "Add a new location" and follow the prompts to set your map pin and office hours.

4. Verification (The Critical Step)

Apple requires proof that you own the business. You can usually choose one of these methods:

• Phone Call: They call your business number with a code (fastest).

• Document Upload: Upload a business license, utility bill, or tax document showing your business name and address.

• Domain Validation: Since you have a custom domain, you can add a TXT record to your DNS settings. This is often the most "permanent" way to verify.

5. Customize Your "Place Card"

Once verified, you can make your listing stand out:

• Logo & Cover Photo: Add high-quality images of your work or branding.

• Showcases: You can post updates or special offers that appear directly in the Maps app for 30 days.

• Actions: Since you compare services to traditional employees, you might add a "Contact Us" or "Learn More" button that links back to your site.
