Google has offered a similar feature for years, allowing companies to create a Google Business Profile and display opening hours, contact information, special offers, photos, and even ordering links.Apple Business Connect allows companies to update photos and logos, and create action links — for example, a restaurant could add a button to start a remote order or reservation.Apple said in a press release, “businesses around the world can now directly manage their information in the interactive Apple Maps place card, including adding and updating photos and logos; inviting customers to take actions like ordering food or making a reservation directly from Maps; and presenting customers with special promotions.Businesses can also provide customers with useful information by highlighting actions for them to take directly from the Maps place card, like ordering groceries via Instacart, making a hotel reservation through Booking.com, or reserving a spot for dinner with OpenTable, and more, with just a tap.”The new feature mostly benefits Apple Maps, but data from businesses will also appear in Messages, Wallet, Siri, and other apps.If enough companies get on board, it could go a long way in making Apple Maps just as accurate with business information as Google’s services."
