Do businesses actually need a 360° virtual tour anymore?
With Google Street View already available for most businesses, I’m curious what 360° photographers are seeing in the real world.
When you pitch a business on a professional 360° virtual tour, what usually makes them say yes?
Is it:
• Google Maps / Street View visibility
• Showing the business before a customer visits
• Website embedding
• Increasing trust
• Better presentation than regular photos
• Something else?
And for those selling these services — what's the hardest part of convincing a business to pay for a 360° tour?
Would love to hear actual experiences, especially from people doing this commercially.
