Formerly branded as Google Business View, Google Street View Trusted converts professionally shot panoramic photographs into interactive, 360-degree “virtual tours” of your business interior. These views are fully integrated into Google Maps; users need only click a link to “See inside” on a location’s landing page to begin their tour.
Google Street View is a natural fit for businesses in the hospitality, restaurant and health care/wellness industries. Ambiance and décor are essential elements of the customer experience for such businesses, and Google Street View offers owners the ability to show off unique features without requiring users to interrupt their browsing and research. But specialty retailers can also benefit from giving remote users a preview of what to expect should they choose to visit their establishment. Curiosities Antiques in Dallas’ “shabby chic” Lakewood neighborhood provides just a glimpse of its wild inventory — fossil specimens, vintage clothing, folk art, local memorabilia and much more — available from its 20-plus vendors. Closer to home, check out the Vermilion Parish Library.
The Vermilion Chamber of Commerce is partnering with Google Street View & Business Photos America to offer this service at a discounted Chamber Price.
