This is interesting! I don't know any other sources that could be giving this pin location error. I agree in contacting Apple Business Connect support. They have been very helpful lately and anytime I run into any Apple Maps issues they have been able to address it pretty quick. I've found the...

Sorry to followup I have asked them to merge a listing once and they wouldn't (not sure if they have that capability) they only removed the outdated listing. For business #2 I'd go ahead with your plan and then just reach out to support and have them any duplicates/triplecates.

Hey There, Dealing with this as well and I found the best way to have a duplicate removed is directly go to Apple Business Connect Support and have them close the outdated business. I have had a similar situation happen a few times and only once did the old/outdated listing get naturally...

This is odd! Is it still stalling ? Never heard of this before, especially if you are using different browsers. I'm wondering if there is something with the IP that's stopping you from completing? I would actually reach out to Apple support to see if this is a known bug or if they can advise...

Hi! I'm assuming you have already tried to update via https://local.yahoo.com/ BUT this is probably where you are searching for the incorrect listing and not finding anything correct? I did find this thread from 2019 with an email address for yahoo support, but if you have already talked to...

I have not personally heard of this company before, however the strategy of using press releases for backlinks and organic growth is pretty common in the industry. I wouldn't recommend this being your only organic strategy as its not very scalable due to costs/effort. Because of this It's not...

Hey, So in my experience most "local" sites often dont have a very high authority. The ones that do are usually your local news outlets or established local blogs. IE: Torontolife.com or Narcity (across Canada). Topical link building will absolutely help improve authority and should be done to...

Hey, From what I know and I could be wrong but I still dont think there are any easy bulk import options within Apple currently. I do know its easier to manage accounts with an enterprise account. Check that our here: How Multi-location Brands can Leverage Apple Business Connect (formerly Apple...

I have a couple questions. 1. Are the citations, forum backlinks and web 2.0 backlinks indexed by Google? 2. What do the current anchors directing to the page look like? 3. Do you have many exact match anchors for your target keywords? Or do you have too many? 4. Are you listed on top lists...

Hey, As others mention your only options are the below 1. Try to update any aggregators that feed Apple with the correct information 2. Suggest an edit from multiple sources with the new number (hit and miss) 3. Claim the listing via the documents route as you can't update a number on a...

Yes, you can search and find business listings without being logged in. Navigate to the bottom of their site through the find local businesses option. Then go through the prompts for the business you are looking for. It may take a few different rounds to drill down exactly to find the businesses...

I completely agree with the comments on DA. If you are really going to focus on authority then the goal is to get relevant non-spammy backlinks from higher authority domains. If your website is DA 10 then getting backlinks from DA 20- DA 30 should help your site but as said before what matters...

Hey, I hope this got resolved for you but if not see below! This happened briefly for one account. I contacted support using the contact support function in the ABC account and they were able to reset it and told us to retry in 24 hours. We waited and then tried the phone verification again and...

This is interesting as 103 is a weird number to be capped at. A few questions. Do you currently have an enterprise Apple Business Connect Account? Are you trying to claim more businesses or locations? Like are we adding existing locations to already claimed businesses or are we trying to add...

Yes Yes and Yes like Colan said! These are some of the best backlinks a website can get! 1. They usually come from very strong authoritative websites. Backlinks from higher authority websites are worth much more than your basic citation-type backlinks. 2. They are very hard to replicate by...
