Location, location, location. These are the three most important considerations in starting or operating a business. Consumers aren’t going to go out of their way to visit back alley shops when there’s a perfectly good store on the main avenue. Online, the same principle applies. Businesses need to be visible to invite traffic and convert them into sales. That’s where Google My Business (GMB) comes in.

What is 3D Tours

This is a way to walk through the streets of the city, apartment, hotel room, gym, cafe, restaurant, shop and other places directly from your computer, tablet or smartphone. Do not confuse the concept of a virtual tour with an ordinary photo or video! Here you can not just walk – the user gets the opportunity to look where he wants, to enter the door, which he considers it necessary to open, to look into those parts of the institution that he wants.

Why do you need it?

Imagine that soon you intend to go to another city, say, on a vacation or a business trip, and the first thing the traveler focuses on is a hotel room, apartment or hostel. Here he comes to the aid of Booking, where you can find out basic information: prices, location and photo of rooms and / or TripAdvisor with guest reviews.

There are a lot of systems! But today this is not enough – users are spoiled by new technologies and they need to be surprised. – How? Order a 3D tour ➾ place it on the site ➾ place on print products using a QR-code ➾ tell about it on social networks – use the new tool to attract customers to your business! And now your profile on Google Maps and Google Search will get a lot more views, which means more clients, now your potential client will not view photos in the gallery, now he will walk in a virtual way.
