When I do a search for my business in iOS 10 maps its difficult to find except if you search for the name exactly.

Before iOS 10 maps I could search for keywords specific for our profession that would easily pop up my business.

Are they doing something different?

How do I fix this?

I was told that it generated this from Yelp which I have an account and it was/has been working fine previously.

Have you been to https://mapsconnect.apple.com ?

From trying to add a home-based business for someone I was told this:

Thank you for contacting us with your concerns about the Maps Connect listing submission process. Although we appreciate your submission, Maps Connect currently only accepts listings from businesses that have a storefront or public-facing location that patrons can visit during the business day.

I offer mobile service to about 80% of my clients and the rest is done at the shop by appointment only. On google you can add that you are a mobile business so that people just don't drive to your house.
[doublepost=1475066405][/doublepost]Do you know if you can add an additional location?

You can have multiple "Places" but I don't know the implications.

To me, it looks like some of the non-storefront businesses that used to show up in my neighborhood don't anymore.

Punishing the little guy! LOL

I added my brick and mortar but I also LIKE have my home listed because its in an area that I get TONS of calls from just being locally to them.
