I’ve noticed the same lately. Apple Maps rankings seem much easier to move compared to Google Maps right now.
My guess is the competition is still far lower, and many businesses haven’t fully optimized their Apple listings yet. That creates opportunities for local SEO.
Google Maps still drives the majority of leads in my experience, but Apple Maps visibility is becoming more valuable, especially with the number of iPhone users relying on Apple’s ecosystem.
Smart businesses should optimize for both instead of depending on a single platform.
