I see there are changes in the works, Apple is launching Apple Business Connect - an article at Techcrunch has details:
[techcrunch.com...]

That does look like there is temporary maintenance going on at the moment.

Apparently the new Apple Business Connect portal with more control was opening as you were asking about it.

I posted the news here: [webmasterworld.com...]

Thanks not2easy,

I was able to create an account in the new system, waiting for approval now for the first location:

The new system prefers a D-U-N-S number or so it seems and A document(or 2) for the verification of the address.

Waiting for the first one to get approved, then will do the second ++.

And all this work cause a client got the new IPhone and was not able to find directions on AppleMaps to their own business.

-- Client to Apple Maps App: Siri, where is my business....What,...Where?....What do you mean there is no "My Business", I am looking at it in next 5 seconds, it is just around the corner...Siri, what are u not telling me?. :)
-- To developer: Damn I don' like this Map thingy on my new IPhone, How do I search for my Biz on the Map?
-- Developer: Hi, do have a D-U-N-S number?
-- Client: You mean my phone Number? Which one, I got several phone #' for each location? Which one u need?

-------- Several days later.......
-- Client to Apple Maps App: Siri, where is my business....What, What do yao'l mean "here is my donuts shop"?, we sell tackle gear and bait? Siri, what are u not telling me?
To developer:........

..... it never ends...or does it?
