      How to create a Company account on Apple Business Connect

      To make a company account on Apple Business Connect, you need to follow these steps. These steps will ensure that your Apple ID is linked to your business and that you can properly claim and manage your business locations.

      Steps to Create a Company Account on Apple Business Connect

      Step 1: Make Sure You Have an Apple ID

      • Required: You must have an Apple ID that is tied to your business or brand. Personal Apple IDs cannot be used for business purposes on Apple Business Connect.

      If you don’t already have an Apple ID tied to your business, follow these steps:

      1. Go to the Apple ID page.

      2. Create a new Apple ID or use an existing Apple ID that is linked to your business email.

      Step 2: Register for Apple Business Connect

      Once your Apple ID is set up or you’ve confirmed it’s linked to your business, you can move on to registering for Apple Business Connect.

      1. Go to Apple Business Connect:

      2. Sign In Using Your Apple ID:

        • Use the Apple ID that is tied to your business (not a personal Apple ID).

        • You’ll be asked to log in with your Apple ID credentials (email and password).

      Step 3: Create a Company Profile

      After logging in, you will need to create your business profile.

      1. Enter Business Details:

        • You'll be asked to provide basic details about your business:

          • Business Name: The official name of your company or brand.

          • Business Category: Choose the category that best fits your business (e.g., restaurant, retail, etc.).

          • Business Address: Enter the physical location of your business.

          • Phone Number: The contact number for your business.

          • Business Website: Provide a link to your business website (if applicable).

      2. Set Up Business Profile:

        • After entering these details, you can customize the profile by adding things like your business hours, promotional updates, photos, and a description of your company.

      Step 4: Verify Your Business

      Verification ensures that you are the rightful owner of the business you’re trying to list.

      1. Choose Verification Method:

        • Phone Verification: Apple will call the business phone number and provide you with a verification code.

        • Email Verification: Apple will send a verification email to the address listed for the business.

        • Postcard Verification: If necessary, Apple will send a postcard to the physical address of the business with a verification code.

      2. Complete Verification:

        • Enter the verification code when prompted to confirm that your business is legitimate.

      Step 5: Manage and Update Your Business Profile

      Once your company profile is verified, you can manage your business on Apple Business Connect. This allows you to keep your business information up-to-date and interact with customers through the Apple ecosystem.

      • Update Business Information: Add or modify hours of operation, services, phone number, and website.

      • Upload Photos: Post images of your business, products, or services.

      • Manage Reviews: Respond to customer reviews and ratings.

      • Create Promotional Posts: Post updates, discounts, or special offers.

      Step 6: Link Multiple Locations (Optional)

      If your business operates multiple locations, you can link them to your main business profile. You’ll need to add each location individually and go through the verification process for each one.

      Important Notes:

      • Apple ID: Make sure your Apple ID is connected to your business email, as this is required for business verification and management.

      • Business Profile: A company profile is necessary to manage the business in Apple’s ecosystem, such as Apple Maps, Siri, and Spotlight Search.
