“Hey Siri, take me to Your Dispensary”

CarPlay and Siri route directly to your storefront.

The map on 1.5 billion iPhones. Optimized for one.

The Context

The iPhone shopper never leaves the ecosystem.

iPhone users don’t type “dispensary near me” into Google. They ask Siri. They tap a Maps pin. They open CarPlay and say “take me to”. Every one of those flows runs through Apple Maps, and Apple Maps only surfaces listings that are fully claimed and optimized on Apple Business Connect.

Apple public reporting, 2026

Apple Business Connect is the free tool Apple uses to source everything from location cards to Siri routing to CarPlay destinations. Most cannabis dispensaries never claim it — which is why so many iPhone users end up at the wrong storefront.

Sparks claims, verifies, and optimizes every field: photos, Showcases, Actions, hours, categories. Then keeps it fresh with monthly updates so the profile stays surfaced.

What We Manage

Every iOS-native surface.

Where This Fits

Apple Maps captures the iPhone-native shopper.

Google is where the search starts. Weedmaps is where the sale closes. Apple Maps is where iPhone users route themselves to the storefront. Sparks manages all three so no matter what device a shopper is on, they end at your door.

Frequently Asked

Apple Maps FAQ

Why does my dispensary need to be on Apple Maps?

Apple Maps powers location search on every iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch — plus Siri, CarPlay, and increasingly Apple Intelligence. Roughly half your prospective customers are using an iPhone, and if your dispensary isn’t on Apple Maps you’re invisible to them when they ask Siri for a dispensary near them.

How do I claim my dispensary on Apple Maps?

Apple uses its Apple Business Connect portal for business claims and edits. Sparks claims your dispensary listing, verifies it, uploads brand assets, and keeps hours, photos, and categories current — alongside your Google, Yelp, and Weedmaps programs.

Does Siri use Apple Maps to recommend dispensaries?

Yes. When a customer asks Siri for a dispensary near them, Siri pulls answers primarily from Apple Maps. If your dispensary is missing, incomplete, or inconsistent on Apple Maps, Siri recommends the competitor with the cleaner listing.

Can I add my cannabis menu to Apple Maps?

Apple Business Connect supports limited product and menu information. We populate what the platform allows — categories, services, photos, website, call-to-action links — and point users to your full menu on your website and marketplace profiles.

How does Apple Maps compare to Google Maps for dispensaries?

Google has more total traffic, but Apple Maps users convert at higher rates and skew toward higher-income iOS households. The two platforms share no listing data, so you have to manage them separately — which is why we run them together.
