Your Google Street View virtual tour will be made up of a number of DSLR quality 360 degree panoramic photos of your business storefront and interior and will provide potential customers with a better sense of the layout, decor and viability of your business. Seeing is believing – click here to explore our virtual tours.

 

Once published, when someone searches  for your business via Google (which comprises 93.65% of all Australian Searches), they will see images linked to your virtual tour directly on the results page. In addition to Google Search, tours are published to Google Maps and Maps Mobile at no extra cost.

 

You can get the most out of your tour by embedding an enhanced version on your website or by sending potential customers links to a specific location within the business, in order to show a specific product or display.

In preparation for our visit please turn on all of your lights and present the area as you would like it to be seen for the best result possible. The aim of the tour is to show customers what they would expect to see if they visited your business on a normal day.

 

We try to keep our prices at the most affordable in the market by removing the need to follow up on payments. Your photographer will ask you settle the account before leaving the premises. We accept cash, cheque, bank transfer, debit and credit cards.

We carry out all our photoshoots with minimum impact to the business. It is up to you whether or not your business is open or closed at the time of the shoot. Day or night, populated or not, we work with total consideration to your business’ needs.

Shooting time can vary from as little as 30 minutes for a micro business up to several hours for a large venue. It all depends on the number of camera positions and the size of your premises.

Most tours are live within 1-2 days from the photoshoot. All of our photos pass through a quality control check to ensure all tours meet our consistently high standards.

When potential customers search Google Search or Google Maps for your business, they will see images linked to your Virtual Tour. Watch a demonstration.

Yes! We offer discounts to returning customers who wish to have their tour updated periodically, usually to reflect changes in store layout, seasonal merchandise etc. If you have other branches or get together with your neighboring businesses we can offer a Multiples Discount for booking them at the same time.

Business owners can still upload traditional still photos directly to their Google+ page, however, since Virtual Tours are produced by Google Trusted Photographers they are more widely distributed across a number of Google properties and branded with Google’s “Street View” markers.

Our Google Trusted Photographers can exclude any areas of your business that you would not like to feature. To uphold the privacy of both the customers and employees, all individuals in the store are notified before their photo is taken. The business owner can also request specific blurring (security cameras, sensitive documents, employee and customer faces, etc.). We also ensure all vehicle licence plates captured are blurred and cannot be identified. The complete Google Maps photo and video policy can be found here.
