Apple Business Connect: What Dentists Need to Know
With the new Apple Business Connect application, dentists and other dental professionals can personalize their location place cards with images, important details, and promotions. The free solution, which Apple unveiled on January 11th, enables dental offices of all sizes to claim their location "place cards and tailor how important business information is displayed to more than a billion Apple users across Apple Maps, Messages, Wallet, Siri, and other apps.
How Your Dental Practice Can Use Apple Business Connect
Dentists can now manage their information directly in the interactive Apple Maps place card. This includes adding and updating photos and logos, inviting patients to take actions like scheduling an appointment or making an appointment directly from Maps, as well as presenting patients with special promotions. Showcases, a new element in the place card, gives dentists the chance to provide incentives and deals to patients, such as financing alternatives, referral bonuses, new patient discounts, whitening specials, and more. Through Business Connect, dentists can quickly edit the Showcase portion of their location card.
Beginning early this month, dental offices in the US will have access to showcases; in the ensuing months, dental offices worldwide will also have access. General, non-dental businesses can also give their customers useful information by emphasizing actions for them to complete directly from the Maps place card, such as placing an Instacart order for groceries, booking a hotel room through Booking.com, reserving a table at an OpenTable restaurant, and more, with just a tap.
How to Register
Dentists can sign up for Business Connect at the self-service website from any desktop or laptop computer using their current Apple ID or by creating a new Apple ID. Once you've signed in and Apple has confirmed your company, you can claim your location(s) and start updating and customizing your place card for no further cost.
