How can Google Street View help my business?

When customers search for your business by name on Google, they see the See Inside thumbnail displayed directly on the search results page. The photospheres are published on Google+, Google Maps, Search, and Mobile.  The See Inside tour shows customers the layout, decor and functionality of your business’s interior.

Where do Google Street View 360° Tours appear on Google?

Google Street View Tours appear in Google Search results, Google+, Google Maps, and on Mobile Search & Maps. Check out this Blog post for a detailed description.

Can I display the tour and feature photos on my own web site or Facebook page?

Absolutely! You can use the images anywhere on the web. You can link to the tour on your site or Facebook page. You can upload your feature photos to your website or share them on social media.

What does it cost?

The price of your tour depends on the size and location of your business. The basic tour starts at $360. Are you based in Rat City, West Seattle, or Burien? Ask for your 10% off neighborhood discount!

What is the monthly recurring cost?

None. Zip. Nada.

What is a Photosphere?

A Photosphere (sometimes called a node, spin, or pano) is one complete 360° sphere represented by a navigation point in the virtual tour. The bigger your space, the more spins. We will always make at least three spins unless your space is really tiny. Nodes are usually 5 to 15 feet apart and they follow a walking path through your space.

How long does it take?

The photo shoot usually takes about one to two hours, more if you have a very large space. After the images are processed, they are uploaded to Google, and reviewed for quality and technical requirements. Usually your tour will be online within two weeks of the photo shoot.

What is the relationship between Katherine, Soundview360, and Google?

Katherine offers the Google Street View virtual tours in the Google Street View | Trusted program. She is a Google Trusted Street View Photographer. She is not a Google employee. She must meet Google’s standards of quality for the feature photos and panoramic pictures, uploading them, moderating them and eventually publishing them on Google properties.
