Google Business View is the new service from Google. It launched in the UK in May 2012 and to the Bury area, through Martin Stembridge Photography, in July 2012. The service takes Street-View to the next level for businesses. No longer do potential customers have to stop at your door - they can enter the premises and enjoy a 360 degree virtual tour. Even if you do not have a website, customers can
see your business online. People are often reserved and prefer to eat and shop at the places they know and are familiar with. As a business you are keen to develop a first relationship with people - to break down that first barrier that prevents people from being customers. You can develop that first relationship considerably easier if you could invite people into your premises - to see see your layout, decor and offerings - without them having to make the significant psychological commitment to visit and - and perhaps be disappointed. Wouldn't it be great if people felt familiar and at home with you before they even left their own homes! Over 80% of all consumers looking for LOCAL services, products or information start their investigation using the Google search engine. Interactive features allow customers who find you online, to walk through, explore and take a closer look at your business, products and facilities.
