You know there is a lot of information on the internet about how much people are looking at businesses before they visit.  It may be reviews, directions, websites, or pictures and your customers are looking at it all before they get to you.

According to Google, “when searching for businesses, consumers use mapping products 44% of the time”.  They even expand on this by adding “virtual tour are twice as likely to generate interest”.

So, almost half of the people looking for your business with are seeing you on one of Google’s mapping products and virtual tours generate 2x interest.

It’s really important to show a clean environment which represents your business.  Take a few minutes and walk through your business and make sure it’s in good order.

We will also take a picture of the outside of the business from the parking lot.  If you can, it’s best to not have cars parked directly in front.  

We can shoot with your staff and customers or without and our recommendation for this varies from business to business.  We will work to accommodate your schedule and your specific needs. 

For example, if you are a medical office and want to have a smiling face at the front desk to great people, that’s a good idea.  If you are a restaurant and want to show how busy you are on a Saturday night…not such a good idea.

Once we speak with you and learn more about your business, we will be happy to offer specific suggestions for you.
