How to Get Your Chiropractic Office on Apple Maps (Step-by-Step)
If your Chiropractic office isn’t listed on Apple Maps, you’re missing a chunk of new patient traffic—especially iPhone users. Here’s how to get listed in under 10 minutes and why it matters.
Why Being on Apple Maps Matters (Even if You're on Google)
Let’s be real—Google Maps gets more traffic. But Apple Maps still deserves a spot in your local SEO strategy. Here’s the breakdown:
Why Google Maps Still Dominates
Market share: ~70% of smartphone users, mostly Android, use Google Maps.
Search visibility: Shows up directly in Google Search results.
Reviews: Most patients read and write reviews on Google.
Google Business Profile: Lets you control hours, services, photos, etc.
But Don’t Sleep on Apple Maps
iPhone users: It’s the default navigation app on ~50% of U.S. phones.
Siri voice search: “Hey Siri, find a chiropractor near me” pulls Apple Maps results.
CarPlay: Many patients use Apple Maps while driving—especially local patients.
Bottom line:
If you’re only on Google Maps, you’re leaving leads on the table.
Do both.
How to Get on Apple Maps
Step 1: Go to Apple Business Connect
Sign in or create an Apple ID
Step 2: Search and Claim Your Business
Search for your office by name/address
If it’s listed, claim it
If not, click “Add a new location”
Step 3: Add Your Business Info
Make sure it’s complete and matches your Google listing:
Business name
Phone number (click-to-call)
Full address
Category (use “Chiropractor”)
Hours of operation
Website
Upload high-quality photos: exterior, front desk, treatment room
Step 4: Verify Your Location
Apple will send a postcard or make a verification call
Once confirmed, your listing goes live
Step 5: Optimize It
Write a short, clear description of your services
Mention any New Patient Specials
Add booking links (if you use JaneApp, Zocdoc, etc.)
Recap: Why You Need Both
Be where your patients are. Cover both platforms and dominate local search.
