Google Virtual Tours

360° Virtual Business Tours

When customers are searching online for your service or products, a large part of the search results are tied to Google Maps, the physical location of your business, and your Google Business listing. 


If you've ever looked at a business online, you've likely seen the Google Street View photos showing the exterior building and its surroundings.  Now, Google supports 360° virtual tours of business' interiors as well.


Adding a 360º tour of your business to your profile is one more way you can stand out.  These high resolution 360º immersive experiences allow people to see and feel what it is like to stand inside your business from the comfort of their home.


When someone searches for a business on a mobile phone, the first image that is displayed is usually the 360º image attached to that listing.  Because these images or virtual tours are so beneficial for potential customers, Google places the businesses attached to these immersive photos in front of more searchers.

Aside from helping out your search rankings, the other main benefit of having a 360º experience paired with your listing is the simple fact that you will stand out.  It is another opportunity to create more engagement and interaction with your potential customers.

Hiring a Trusted Photographer for Your Business

Not every business is going to take 10 minutes to shoot, upload, and connect the virtual tour, but the process is very simple and will cause very little interruption in your work day. We like to do our photo shoots before or after business hours in order to fully capture your business without customers and employees showing up in the shots.

We will then process the photos, upload them to Google Street View, and connect them to your business listing. Depending on the complexity of the photo shoot, this can take anywhere from 1 day to 1 week. You will also be able to take these 360 degree photos and share them with your email list or embed them on your website.

We use top of the line, Google-recommended 360 degree cameras along with low-profile tripods, which helps to make the camera almost completely invisible in the photos. The cameras are designed with double sided synchronized lenses that can capture everything, including the camera itself, so the low-profile tripod is a key factor in the photo shoots.

Show off your business from every angle and stand out from your competitors.  Contact us about our high-quality Street View 360° virtual tour services today!

How Much Does a 360° Photo Shoot Cost?

​Every business is different, so every photo shoot will be different.  We base our pricing on the following factors:


*How many photosphere shots need to be taken.  Google guidelines are 3 feet apart indoors and 10 feet apart outdoors, with a maximum of 100 photos inside the building


*The floor plan. Connecting the photospheres together to form the virtual tour can be complicated if there are a lot of sectioned off areas or more than one level.


*How many still shots of your business you desire.  Many businesses request still photos from featured areas in their location to use on social media or their digital properties.


*Do you want the photo rights to the virtual tour? A trusted photographer typically uploads the tours to their own account and link them to the business listing.  The photo rights can be transferred to the business if desired.


*Do you want your virtual tour hosted anywhere other than Google's mapping properties so that you can use it on your website and other marketing efforts?

Each location will be quoted prior to scheduling, and payment must be made at the time of the shoot.
