# Apple Maps & Bing Places

> Apple Maps and Bing Places are the map listings behind iPhone searches, Siri, Microsoft Copilot and Bing. We claim and verify your listings in Apple Business Connect and Bing Places for Business, add accurate details, photos and hours, and keep them in sync with your Google Business Profile.

Many local businesses have never claimed their Apple Maps listing, even though a large share of their customers use iPhones.

## Why it matters now
Assistants outside Google, including Siri and Copilot, rely on these listings for local answers. Missing or wrong data means lost calls you never see.
