Apple Maps Rankings

Check how businesses rank on Apple Maps for a keyword. Apple Maps feeds Siri and Apple Intelligence, which Google-based data cannot see.

When to use this

Your customers on iPhone search Apple Maps, not Google. Apple rankings are invisible to every Google-based tool, so this is the only way to know whether you show up there - and whether the competitors beating you on Google are beating you on Apple too.

Response Fields

Field	Type	Description
results	array	One row per listing. Same shape on Apple and Bing, so results compare field-for-field
results[].platform_id	string	Apple's MUID or Bing's place_id. Stable - keep it to skip lookups on later calls
results[].rank	integer \| null	Position in the result set
results[].name	string	Business name as the platform lists it
results[].address	string	Address as the platform lists it - compare against your canonical NAP
results[].phone	string	Phone as the platform lists it
results[].rating	number \| null	Star rating, null when the platform shows none
results[].reviews_count	integer	Review count on that platform
total_results	integer	Number of listings returned

Notes

Apple rankings are independent of Google - a business in Google's 3-pack can be invisible on Apple Maps, and the reverse.
Keep platform_id (Apple's MUID) from the response: passing it to the Apple Business Profile endpoint skips a lookup and lowers the cost.
