This free tool allows companies of all sizes to claim location cards for their addresses and design how key information is displayed to more than a billion Apple users in Apple maps, messages, wallets, Siri and other App.

Apple Business Connect is a new free tool that allows companies to customize the display of beautiful images, key messages and special promotions in their location cards. "We create Business Connect so that Apple users around the world can find accurate information about food, shopping and travel destinations." "Apple Business Connect provides all merchants with practical tools to connect more directly with customers and better control the way more than a billion users browse and use products and services every day," said Eddy Cue, senior vice president of Apple Services.

The information on the map App's location card is displayed to more than a billion Apple users via Siri, wallet, information, and other App. Apple said that with Business Connect, companies around the world can manage their information directly in Apple map App's interactive location card, such as adding and updating photos and logo, allowing customers to order food or book seats directly in the map App, and introducing special promotions to customers. A new Showcase function has been added to the location card, which allows companies to display offers or promotions to customers, such as seasonal menus, product discounts, and so on. Companies can easily update the Showcase section of their location cards through Business Connect. From now on, the Showcase feature will be available in the United States and will be available to global enterprises in the coming months.
