You can use the report a problem link in maps to report to apple if something is listed incorrectly
also maps pulls some local data from Yelp so if you can add your businesses on there (haven't used yelp so not sure how that would work) it would probably help

I did report to Apple about the one that is listed, the problem is that the other businesses isn't listed, so I need to add one. For what I can see, Yelp is only for USA and a couple of other cities around the world
Similar issues here - I own Picnic's Hot Dogs in Kirkland, WA and my business is listed on Yelp, but it wont show up on the Apple Maps app. We do a great deal of successful online marketing with Google and Facebook - Yelp has been a complete failure in driving traffic for us. Anyone know how to get this fixed so that when consumers search for Fast Food or Hot Dogs my business will again show?
I own a business in the UK and since the new update my business is not showing on maps and I have put it on Yelp, not happy as I got a lot of business from google maps, I hope somebody comes up with resolution!
I guess they didn't think a lot before releasing this, it is still horrible to use.
I was reading a bit at google, and I decided to add TomTom's database

I'm not sure if it will work, but its better than doing nothing i guess
Also here in Germany local business listings in Apple Maps is very sparse.
Apple's partner Yelp is not very popular in Germany and there are other sites that are far more popular and I hope Apple will add other services like Qype.
Required reading for anyone trying to understand the inputs to Apple's Maps ecosystem (especially related to business listings). This is US-centric, yet many of these data providers are international in scope. Best of luck!

So, in the first link there is a lot of info, but nothing really helps.
The second one tells me to add my listing to Tomtom; which I did 2 weeks ago, but still nothing

I did try to add my business to Localeze, but they charge 297 dollars a year!

Can you guys imagine how much i miss Google Places?
Regarding your TomTom submission, chances are it takes them time to ingest the business updates. Most of these data providers take weeks-months before new data is confirmed & distributed. Also I came across a forum discussion @ TomTom. Might be worth checking out - only certain countries are supported directly through their Business portal. Many businesses are entering their data through the Mapshare tool. http://discussions.tomtom.com/t5/GO-800-1000-2000-Via-Start-20/How-do-I-add-my-B usiness-to-the-list-of-Restaurants/td-p/36407
Regarding Localeze, there is a free listing option. The depth of the data doesn't come close to that of the $297 paid listing (or for that matter, what you had in Google Places). But it's better than nothing. Try this link http://webapp.localeze.com/directory/search.aspx
To edit a buisness listing, select it on the map and then choose Report a Problem
To add a buisness listing, find the the area of map where you want it and then use the Report a Problem option which is under the curl and just above the Print button
