Help Your Business (and SEO) with Street View
If you’re a user of Google, (and these days who isn’t?) - then you’re aware of Google Maps. Within Maps, you can view HOW to get to a business, and also view WHAT it looks like from outside. But what if you could look INSIDE a business to see even more?
Well now you can - with Google Street View and 360 degree photography, courtesy of
Media By JP, a Google Street View Trusted photographer.
Only photographers or companies like Media By JP that have earned trusted status can use the Google Maps Street View brand and trusted badge as marketing assets.
From the outside…
When we provide you Google Street View photography, we take the prior experiences had to a whole new level. We can showcase other exterior shots in addition to Google automobile photography, taken from various angles or during times of the year that make your business stand out best.
Using a combination of mouse gestures, trackpads or combining keys, you can view every picture in any direction, including up and down. Each picture is added to your Google My Business listing and can be embedded in your website.
To the Inside…
Using our 360/Street View service, now you can take customers INSIDE your business to SHOW them what you offer, providing enhanced trust and credibility.
As a business, when you provide 360 degree photos and videos, you’re providing an interactive and immersive experience for your customers as they click, spin and rotate the imagery.
According to a Forbes article, retailers state that 82% of consumers do research online before visiting a store. According to Google, When searching for businesses, consumers use mapping products 44% of the time. On average, 41% of these place searches result in an on-site visit. And finally, listings with photos and a virtual tour are twice as likely to generate interest.
Bonus Content for Engagement
What’s even more appealing about Street View pictures from a Google Trusted source is the engagement you can have with your customers. “Hide” an item in your picture and host a contest to see who can find it first to win a prize or discount. Or just have an unexpected humorous point in your picture to make your customers enjoy your business just that much more. (See to the left)
Facebook recognizes 360 pictures automatically when you post them, so you have more content at the ready.
