Apple maps does not show my business. It's been listed on Yelp for a while now. What next?

I have tried updating as instructed both on my iPhone and my iPad and am still waiting. I also updated 5 other business directories or GPS directories online. If I have to pay Yelp $600/month to get on apple maps, I'm going to throw all my apple products away. It's ridiculous I can't reach 50% of cell users when they search 'auto repair' on the map program on their phone. Or worse, can't even search by my business name and get directions.
Thank you - it worked exactly as you said.
How long will it take before your business shows up?
It took about a week in Google Maps, I need a timeline for my clients.
I represent a dentist. Before if I searched for "dentist near me" his practice showed up first. Now if I search for "dentist near me" the first 7 results are the residential addresses for dentists in our area. His practice doesn't even show up at all.
But he's happy his residence doesn't show up in the results...
This is my biggest gripe with Apple and Maps. How difficult would it have been to invite businesses to submit data that could have been verified automatically using email. Work with Yelp if necessary. Have a dedicated FREE Apple Maps registration page and get the data up quickly. It's not rocket science when you kick the worlds biggest search engine off your maps platform.
Is there a way of doing this without using a device running iOS6?
Hey Nic,
I have put together a list of all of the ways you can get your business information listed/updated on Apple Maps. It's not the simplest system in the world yet, but over time I expect it to be as easy as Google Places (#sarcasm).
Phil, based on my discussions with some of the data vendors for Apple Maps, none of them expect any kind of claiming-type process for at least the next 6 months-1 year. They have their hands full at the moment.

Nic,
Send me the name & location of your business and your Yelp profile link and I'll take a look. I can be reached here
I have the same issue as the person who created this post. If I follow the steps you've outlined, is there a chance that I'll end up with two listings? IE. the one that's created in response to my 'Location is missing' submission AND the Yelp listing ( assuming it ever comes online)? Thanks.
Hey Luke,
I don't think Apple uses Yelp as a "base listings" source - that is just because a business is listed in Yelp does not mean it will be listed in Apple Maps. Apple relies on third party providers to supply the base listing data. You need to make sure your biz is listed in those.
I have been tracking the data suppliers here: Apple Maps Business Listings Suppliers by Country
Thanks Andrew, much appreciated.
No prob. And in case you haven't realized it yet, using "Report a Problem" is almost useless.
I have the same issue. It's a big shame that all 80,000 apple employees don't develop anything almost for 2 years. Don't waste time on "Report a problem". It's a garbage. Adding to yelp was easy and straightforward but it hasn't showed up on Apple maps. I reported to acxiom 2 months ago but it also doesn't show up yet. I also tried to add it to tomtom but... tomtom don't do business with US customers. I tried to add it to teleatlas, a tomtom company, but... their website, www.teleatlas.com, went down as of today.
