LOCAL BUSINESS & GOOGLE
Most of the businesses around are local businesses and the most important factor for them is to be found locally through Google Search or Google Maps.
In order for a business to be found on Google Maps it needs at least to have a Google My Business Listing created and verified by Google. Google My Business Listings or GMB listings for short now act as a business card for a business representation on Google. The more details Google know about a business through their GMB listing the more chances Google will show this business to Google Maps and Google Search users. Business owners cannot expect Google showing any business with missing or incomplete details.
Apart from business location, business address/phone, a business category/services and other important details Google most likely to give some priority in their display order in search to those GMB listings that are rich with visual media such as photos or videos. There are few studies done how an amount of photos/videos published under a GMB listing affects its ranking. Most of them have proven that GMB listings with a lot of photos/videos not just generate more interest among potential customers they also perform better and shown more often than a competitor business with very few photos/videos published under their GMB Listing.
Please have a look at one of our last client’s business inside view below. It has collected extra 10 000 views for this business in less than 3 months on Google Maps alone and resulted in more calls and visits to their business location from potential customers who have found them on Google Maps.

Google Maps users become engaged with virtual tours walking through all or most of panoramas. It gives a business the most views and Googe counts them towards business local ranking.

Be a part of future Google Augmented reality navigation
Google is already implementing a street view navigation with augmented reality navigation for cars and pedestrians on some oile phones. This year Google has started to show overlays with business pins directly in car street view. The next step will probably be letting map users to click these pins for more details and enter businesses that have they business street view published.
OUR RECENT BUSINESS STREET VIEW WORK
Here is a few of our Google Maps Tours we have created for places and businesses on Google Maps. If you click on any tour shown below. It will open a new window with the tour shown directly on Google Maps.
STREET VIEW SERVICE FEE
Our fees for creating a Street View for a business depends on a business size, location and goals a business wants to achieve. Businesses located on the ground floor and those that are easy to find will require less time for our service than those located deep with some office building or shopping malls.
The minimum fee we charge for street view service is $499 including GST.
It includes up to 10 x 360 degree photos, taken inside a business premises and connected together into a business street view virtual tour and submitted to Google Maps under a listing for their Google My Business Profile.
When no directional benefits of a street view tour are required and business does not have any of outdoor features to capture we may offer a better rate for making a business inside view with our Matterport Pro2 Camera.
.
BLUE LINE SERVICE FOR GOOGLE MAPS
Being a Google Street View Trusted Photographer for years we can do more on Google Maps than just creating a Business Inside View.
We can also update a blue line view(Car Street View) near your business to show most recent 360 degree street view near your business. We call it blue line service because this type of Street View is usually done for roads/streets and represented as a blue line on Google Maps.
A blue line service can be provided for public roads as well as for private roads behind gates that Google usually never drive along with their blue line capturing car.
It can be a gated or recently built Real Estate, Aged Care or a Holiday Park. Also it is possible to create a blue line for some pedestrian paths, treks and trails which are marked on Google Maps.
We cannot provide any rate for this type of service as it will depend on the length and complexity of work. Some may need our car with a special camera on top driven for a long time, some can be done with an electric scooter and complex ones like some forest treks and trails can only be walked along to record and create a blue line. However we can assure it is quite affordable to anybody.

360° TOURS FOR BUSINESS WEBSITES
If you want to help your website visitors to make informed decisions about dealing with your business a virtual tour for your business website is exactly want you need.
A virtual tour is a great and innovative tool for users, it engages your website visitors to stay on your website longer learning a lot of your business in an immersive and interactive way. There is no way to achieve the same results with just text and flat images and reading pages of content and looking at a lot of images wil be boring to everyone.
If you own a restaurant for example and have a virtual tour on your website you are more likely to get new customers after they see the virtual tour of your restaurant. And you are most likely to get a happy customer after they visit your restaurant because they have already learnt a lot about your interior or for example a great views.
Any accomodation places such as hotels, holiday places, caravan parks etc can show what kind of rooms and indoor/outdoor facilities your guests can expect. Virtual tours help to improve occupancy rates for this type of businesses.
Some virtual tours are not even made for attracting more customers and more dedicated to future employees. We know a few cases when hospitals and big companies requested virtual tours to get new employees on board by showing them environment of their future workplace.
Another example is when museums or exhibitions order a virtual tour for their websites because they want their website visitors to see their expositions. And it is not a problem with such a places charging entry fees to access it in reality. We offer Pay Per View add-on from our partner that can act as a paywall. In this case a visitor can only enter a virtual tour after they pay an entree fee.
