Realease Notes
Apple Business Connect, Phase I
March 13, 2024

Summary

We're thrilled to announce that LocalClarity is now pushing your location data to Apple Business Connect.

Background

In recent years, Apple has made a push to make Apple Business Connect a rival in the space to Google Business Profile. Clients have been asking for Apple Business Connect for some time, and we have recently completed the first stage of the integration process.

Details

We are now "translating" Google data to make it fit within Apple's API structure. This allows us to push existing client data seamlessly over to Apple Business Connect, if the client chooses to do so. The platform then maps their Apple locations to their Google locations to help maintain data integrity across the board.

You can see if your locations are being pushed to Apple from the Manage Locations module. We are methodically working through the entire custom list to publish the data to extend the breadth of your local discovery into the Apple Maps ecosystem.

What's Next

We are committed to giving Users more control over their Apple Business Connect connection. As Apple continues to evolve it's product, we will be looking to be adapt every step of the way.
