Lesson 4 of 9

Claim Your Other Free Listings

Google is not the only map. Apple, Yelp and Nextdoor all give you a free page. Claim them so your facts match everywhere.

People find local businesses on more than one app. iPhone owners tap Apple Maps. Neighbors ask on Nextdoor. Food lovers check Yelp. Each one has a free business page, and an unclaimed page shows whatever someone else typed in.

Apple Business Connect

Apple launched Business Connect in 2023 as a free tool to claim your place card in Apple Maps. You control photos, your logo and actions like ordering or reserving, and that info also reaches Siri and Wallet.

Yelp

Yelp says it is free to be on Yelp and free to claim your page. A claimed page lets you update your info, add photos and respond to reviews and messages.

Nextdoor

Nextdoor offers a free Business Page. Neighbors recommend local pros there all the time, and a page gives those recommendations somewhere to land.

Match Your Facts

Use the exact same name, phone and hours on every listing, including Yisrael and Google. When your facts disagree, customers call the wrong number or show up when you are closed.
