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

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.)
