Google Business View: give customers a 360° view of your business

Google Maps | Business View

Among the myriad of products and services that Google provides, Street View has to be one of the most remarkable.

The ability to take a virtual drive on the other side of the world or pinpoint the exact position of a specific destination are both entertaining and useful features.

Although Street View also allows prospective customers or clients to discover your location, is there a way for them to gain a more thorough and comprehensive perspective of the business?

The answer is yes, and it’s called Google Business View. This latest offering allows any organisation to provide customers with a 360-degree virtual tour inside their premises thanks to Street View technology.

This service might not be appropriate for everyone, but in cases where the inner workings of your premises play a fundamental role in your business – say, a beautifully appointed shop or bustling factory – its power and potential can be huge.
