Step 1: Create an Apple Business Connect Account and Link Your Account with Yext

To link your Apple Business Connect account with Yext:

Step 1: Create Apple Business Connect Account

1. Create an Apple Business Connect Enterprise account directly with Apple by visiting https://businessconnect.apple.com/.
   • For full steps to create an account, visit the Create your enterprise account in Apple Business Connect help article on the Apple Support site.
   • It can take up to 5 days for Apple to verify your account.
     • Note: For companies based outside of the US, if you can’t find your DUNS number, visit Dun & Bradstreet to search for your company and look up your DUNS number. For further assistance with obtaining your DUNS number or verifying your account, contact Apple Support.
2. Once the account is created and verified you will need to create business folders for the account at the country level. A new business folder is required for each country and each sub-brand that you want to have under the same Apple account. We recommend locations have names similar to the associated business folders but the name does not need to be exactly the same. You do not need to add each location individually. Once the business folder is delegated (approved by Apple), Yext will automatically create locations in your business folder. You should not claim your locations. Claiming your locations will prevent Yext from syncing to Apple Maps listings.
   1. Click on the Businesses tab in the sidebar.
   2. Click Add in the top right corner, and click Add Business to create the relevant businesses for each country.
3. Once the businesses have been added, log into Yext to link you Apple account with Yext using the steps below.
