What to have ready
  • A payment method / paid account on file
Steps to apply
  1. 1Sign up for Apple Business at business.apple.com, choose Ads, add your organization details and a credit card, and start an ads on Maps campaign.
  2. 2The credit is added automatically; there is no code to enter.
Good to know: Read Apple's credit eligibility page, the Ads on Apple Maps page (which says ads on Maps are available in the United States and Canada and offers the first $150) and the Apple Business help article on October 27, 2026. A separate Grand Opening Promo (15% of monthly spend back as credit, up to $1,000 USD a month for a year) required a first campaign on or before October 11, 2026, so it is closed to new advertisers and is not listed as the value.
