How to easily and quickly display your company in Apple Maps

Why Apple Maps

In the Czech environment, it is important for a business to be displayed not only in Google Maps, Mapy.cz, or OpenStreetMaps, but also in Apple Maps, as the number of Apple users is large and continues to grow. The listing also integrates into car navigation and other applications connected with Apple Maps - for example, into the largest free internet search engine DuckDuckGo. If you are doing business abroad or heading there, Apple Maps become even more significant for you. 

How to register a business in Apple Maps

You can register officially on Apple's website using your ID, but this feature is currently not available for the Czech Republic. Probably the easiest way to get into Apple Maps is through Yelp.cz, the Czech version of the foreign service that publishes reviews of local businesses. Yelp acts as a data source and provides information about businesses that register on it, allowing your business to appear directly in Apple Maps.
