How Do I Get Listed on Bing Places and Apple Business Connect?

How to list your business on Bing Places and Apple Business Connect, why they matter beyond Google, and how to keep your details consistent.

How Do I Get Listed on Bing Places and Apple Business Connect?

Short answer: Both are free. Bing Places lets you import your Google Business Profile in a few clicks, while Apple Business Connect needs you to claim or create your place card and verify it. Together they put you in front of people using Bing, Apple Maps, Siri and other tools that rely on these sources.

Why bother if Google is biggest?

Google dominates search, but not everywhere. iPhone users often use Apple Maps by default, and Siri pulls business information from Apple's data. Bing powers search in Windows, Microsoft Edge and several other services. Being listed costs nothing and adds consistent signals about your business across the web.

Bing Places for Business

Step by step

  1. Go to Bing Places for Business and sign in with a Microsoft, Google or Facebook account.
  2. Choose to import from Google Business Profile if you have one. This copies your details, hours and photos.
  3. If not, search for your business and claim it, or create a new listing.
  4. Check every field: name, address, phone, website, category and hours.
  5. Complete verification if asked, which may be by phone, email or post depending on the listing.

Tip

While you are there, set up Bing Webmaster Tools too. You can import your site from Google Search Console, which helps Bing crawl your pages.

Apple Business Connect

Step by step

  1. Go to Apple Business Connect and sign in with an Apple Account. A dedicated business account is wise.
  2. Search for your business location. If it exists, claim it. If not, add a new place.
  3. Enter your details, category, hours, website and phone number.
  4. Verify ownership. Apple may check by phone call, documents or other methods.
  5. Add a logo, photos and a short description once approved.

Extras worth using

  • Showcases: short promotions that appear on your place card, similar to Google posts.
  • Action links: buttons for booking or ordering, where available.
  • Branding: your logo can appear in some Apple apps.

Features and availability vary by country, so check what is offered where you are.

Keep details identical

Use exactly the same business name, address and phone number as on Google and your website. Mismatched details across platforms confuse both customers and search engines. Keep a single master copy of your details and paste it into each platform.

Other listings worth claiming

  • Facebook business page.
  • Yelp, which feeds into some other services.
  • A respected directory for your trade or country.

Maintain them

Update hours for holidays and any changes to phone or address across all platforms at the same time. Set a reminder every few months to check each listing. If you have a new website, update the link everywhere. Need one? Contact us for a quick quote.
