Google Business Photos- A Virtual Tour Of Your Business Using Street View Technology
My name is Wayne Goldstein and my company Chroma360 is a contractor for Google 360 business photography here in Massachusetts.
How do Google Business Photos help my Business?
When potential customers search for your business by name on Google, they will see the images displayed directly on the search results page. These panoramic images will also be published on Google+ Local pages, Google Maps and other Google properties and give customers a better sense of the layout, decor and beauty of your business interior. Using easy-to-use html snippets or Maps APIs, you can also link to these images from your own business website, attracting potential customers who visit your website too.

Here are some of the brass tacks -
*One Time - Service fees for photography are a one time charge. No renewal fees, no annual fees, no hidden fees; period. Pricing is based solely on the number of camera positions required to fully showcase your business. Fees also cover 'point of interest' photography which is easily incorporated into your Google+ account.

*Google Rankings - The Google engine considers a 360 degree tour the highest form of imagery SEO, instantly improving your organic rankings.
*You Own It - You own all the copyrights of the imagery. Incorporate the 360 tour into your website, social media, existing marketing collateral, or even your Facebook page.
How much do Google Business Photos cost?
The cost of the photo shoot depends on your business size and how much detail you would like to showcase. A Google Business Photo session consists of anywhere from 4-30 panorama locations at your place of business. Internal panorama locations can only be a maximum of 15 feet apart. As a Google Trusted Photographer we will work with you to design an efficient map for your storeview panoramic tour.
Each session includes:
1. A minimum of 10 product or merchandise shots detailing your business. Images automatically downloaded to Google Places, Google Maps and available to be embedded on website.
2. 4-30 Panoramic images depending on the size of your location, professionally processed images stitched together using Google technology to create your panoramic tour.
Packages generally start at $349.99. After our initial consultation, we will quote you an exact cost before the shoot is scheduled. Discounts are available for multi-location or multi-business shoots. Contact www.chroma360.net for pricing based on the number of images needed to show off your business.
I have attached a short video on the technology for you to see how this works.
