If a business listing on Apple Maps is missing the business hours and business address, or if they do not match the information on the business's website or other local listings (like Yelp, Google Maps, etc.), Apple can mark the business as permanently closed within Apple Maps / Apple Business Connect.

To ensure visibility for users on Apple Maps, businesses should:

• Add the location's full address and business hours to their official website.
• Ensure that the business hours are consistent across the official website, professional social media pages, and third-party content providers like Yelp.

This helps enhance the user experience and ensures accurate representation of the business on Apple Maps.

Having consistent business information across different platforms is important because it:

• Enhances the user experience by providing reliable and accurate information.
• Ensures the accurate representation of the business on various platforms like Apple Maps, professional social media pages, and third-party content providers.
• May prevent the business from being incorrectly marked as permanently closed on platforms like Apple Maps.
