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

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?

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
