Can I capture and publish pictures myself?
While you have the option to upload standard photos to your Google business listings, our high-dynamic-range, interactive 360° virtual tour images offer a distinct advantage.

Crafted by Google Trusted Photographers using Street View software, our tours also receive more extensive distribution across Google platforms (Search, Maps, Earth).

 

The process of creating these tours is highly specialized, necessitating the use of specific DSLR cameras, lenses, tripods, and advanced colour-grading software. Beyond the equipment, our team brings over a decade of professional experience in capturing and crafting immersive virtual tours, ensuring top-tier quality and finesse in every project.

 

What measures are in place to ensure privacy?
Privacy is paramount. We offer options to omit specific business areas from the tour. Additionally, prior to capturing any photo, everyone present is informed. Specific blurring requests (faces, sensitive areas, license plates) are honoured. The complete Google Maps photo and video policy can be found here.
