When potential customers search for your business by name on Google Search and Google Maps, they will see your Business Google Indoor Street View Virtual Tour directly on the search results page next to your map and photos. Your Business Virtual Tour will also be published on Google+ Local pages, Google Maps and other Google properties and give your customers a better sense of the layout, decor and design of your business interior.

Yes you can with a 360 camera. However, as Google Trusted Agency, we know the post production and how to connect the tour to your location on Google search, map and local.  Our photographers are trained and certified by Google.  Our Certified Photographers will come to your location and take high-quality photos, using a panoramic camera, that will then be stitched into 360-degree views.  Once stitched and uploaded to Google, your Business virtual tour will be visible on the search results page next to your map and photos. Your Business Virtual Tour will also be published on Google Local pages, Google Maps and other Google properties.

There is a onetime fee for the 360 virtual tour. The onetime fee also includes posting them to Google Maps, Local Listing and Google search. Once the tour is added to Google Maps, there are no other costs involved and no monthly fee.  Rates start as low as $375 and vary depending on number of rooms to shoot or the size of the building.

Simply click the ‘Get A Free Quote’ Button and complete the information.  A member of our team will call you back shortly to capture information from you.  They’ll schedule a convenient time (it is best to shoot  before or after hours or on a day that the business is closed) to send out a Certified Google Photographer to your business.  In most cases, a photo shoot will take about an hour, but this varies depending on the size of your business. Once shot, we can edit, stitch, and make the photos public within 5 business days.

Photo shoots will include the main customer-facing areas of your business. You can work with the photographer to determine what areas of your businesses you would like to highlight, or even exclude from the shoot. The goal is to show customers what they would expect to see if they visited your business on a normal day. You will want to “stage” the areas to be photographed.  Clean and  arrange the area so that there are clear pathways, and remove any items that you do not want the public to see.
