How a North Carolina 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 North Carolina place in Apple Business Connect
Ads can only run on a verified place. We claim and verify your Charlotte location (and any other North Carolina locations), then fix categories, hours, photos, and place card actions.
Map your real North Carolina service area
We target by drive time rather than a flat mileage circle, so a campaign covers the Charlotte and Raleigh 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.
