Real Estate businesses can use Apple Business Connect to optimise the overall customer experience by providing customers with the most up-to-date, relevant information of your business.
These place cards will appear when a user searches for your business or clicks on your location within Apple maps.
Why you should use Apple Business Connect
Similar to why you should use Google My Business for your Real Estate Business, having an Apple Business Connect Profile increases your online visibility, improves your credibility as a business and provides helpful, relevant information for potential clients.
Business Connect also includes a feature called Showcases, a feature businesses can use to provide current offers or incentives. This feature is only available to companies in the US but will be rolled out globally during 2023.
Due to Apple Maps being the more popular choice for mobile maps, you can leverage the Apple Business Connect feature to increase your online presence whilst providing value for your clients.
There will also be analytics built in so that you can view the performance of your profile and be provided with data to improve your performance so that you can continue to optimise the experience.
