Businesses in the U.S. and Canada can now purchase ad slots in Apple Maps, as reported by Media Post. This new feature aims to provide advertisers with a prominent placement within the app.

Apple is offering an introductory incentive: a 15% credit on future ad spend, capped at $1,000 per month for the first year. While ads are not yet visible, they are expected to roll out soon, following Apple's previous announcement that they would launch in summer 2026.

Advertisements will be displayed at the top of search results within Apple Maps and also in a new "Suggested Places" section. This move marks a significant expansion of Apple's advertising offerings into its mapping service.
