How a California business gets set up on Apple Maps Ads
Five steps. We handle all of them, and most campaigns are live within a few business days once the place is verified.
Claim your California place in Apple Business Connect
Ads can only run on a verified place. We claim and verify your Los Angeles location (and any other California locations), then fix categories, hours, photos, and place card actions.
Map your real California service area
We target by drive time rather than a flat mileage circle, so a campaign covers the Los Angeles and San Diego traffic patterns your customers actually deal with.
Set a pay-per-tap budget
You set the daily ceiling. You pay only when a nearby iPhone user taps your place. New advertisers can qualify for a $150 Apple Maps Ads credit.
Schedule around local demand
