Simply click the ‘Get A Free Consultation’ Button and complete the information. A member of our team (Optic Tour – a Google Trusted Agency) 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.
