100 Million Apple Local Business Listings

4 replies
I was watching the Apple keynote earlier this week and was intrigued by the introdouction of the new maps app and the statement that apple has over 100 million local business listings.

Apple is in a type of cold war with Google and they are trying their best to serve their customers without using Google's services. I know that these changes won't take affect until iOS 6 is distributed later this year in the fall. But I do have an iPhone and I was wondering is anyone familiar with how you go about getting local businesses listed in Apple's listings?

    I'm under the impression that Apple is aggregating their listing from Google and other sources and is not open to direct submission, but I'll look into and let you know if I find anything contrary.

    This might be one explanation as to google shake, rattle and rolling its algorithm every few weeks. Maybe, just maybe, apple is making a dent in their heretofore impenetrable infrastructure.

    Something to watch...

    I'm very curious about this as well. As soon as I saw it I went researching how to submit businesses to it. This is gonna be a huge SEO issue to tackle.
