  • WHAT'S THE BENEFIT OF GOOGLE STREET VIEW FOR MY BUSINESS?

    When someone searches for your business on Google they will see high quality images displayed directly on the search results page. They will “see inside” your business and these panoramic images will also be published on Google Maps to give potential customers a true vision of the décor and layout. It gives you the opportunity to showcase what’s great or unique about your business and to open the doors 24/7. You can even put the tour on your website and Facebook.

  • WHAT IF I DON'T HAVE A GOOGLE LISTING?

    If you don’t already have a Google listing page for your business we will help you with that. If you already have one we can make sure it is all correct.

  • WHAT’S IT COST?

    It depends on the size of your premises and the area you want to show off. It’s a very economical one-off charge for the shoot to create the images and upload them to Google. There is no recurring charge at all and we encourage you the share the images on your web site and on social media Then Hyperlink Request a quote today.

  • HOW LONG WILL THE PHOTOSHOOT TAKE?

    This depends on the size and type of business to be shot. Typically 30 to 60 minutes. Larger businesses could take a couple of hours.

  • WHICH AREAS OF MY BUSINESS WILL BE PHOTOGRAPHED?

    We start outside the main entrance then move in to the interior areas of your business. We can talk about what areas of your businesses you would like to highlight, or exclude from the shoot.

  • WILL THE PHOTOSHOOT DISRUPT MY BUSINESS OPERATIONS?

    No, we appreciate your customers come first. We can pick a day and time where it is least busy and can work around customer traffic.

  • WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO PREPARE MY BUSINESS AHEAD OF THE PHOTOSHOOT?

    The imagery will be up on Google for a long time and the goal is to show customers what they can expect to see when they visit your business so we just recommend a general tidy up if necessary like clean floors, hide bins etc .

  • WILL PEOPLE BE INCLUDED IN THE GOOGLE STREET VIEW PHOTOSHOOT?

    We want to keep the focus of the photos on the inside of your business so the aim is to have as few people in the shots as possible. As the business owner it would be your responsibility to notify your employees and customers that the photoshoot is taking place if you feel that's necessary.

  • WHAT ABOUT PRIVACY?

    We use Google's blurring technology to hide faces and car registration numbers. If you wish to have people in the shoot and not blurred we can provide a standard model release form to be signed by those being photographed.

  • HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO PUBLISH THE IMAGERY TO GOOGLE?

    Typically it takes around 10 days for us to process and publish the images.

  • CAN I USE THESE IMAGES ON MY BUSINESS WEBSITE?

    Absolutely. We encourage you to share the walk-through experience of your business with your customers and potential customers so putting the tour on your website will be a huge enhancement for the visitor to your site.


    Once the tour is published to Google we will be able to provide you the embedding code to do this.


    For an additional cost we can also provide customised enhanced tours with hotspots, pop up information and menu navigation, table bookings and more
