Google Business View Basics

 

Whoohoo congratulations! You now have  Google Business Street View, let me show you what comes next. 

 

Moving around in the tour 

To move the image: Use your mouse to click and drag while releasing the button to view and zoom if necessary.

To move to the next panorama: Click the large grey arrows once as they come up pointing in a given direction. Use the directional arrows to move the panorama. You will still need to use the mouse to navigate to the next panorama or spot in the tour.

To View on Mobile: Download the Google Maps Application and find the business. Touch screen devices make it really easy to navigate with swipes of the finger. Double taps are the easiest way to move from one panorama (scene) to the next. 

          

                Pssst... this is a 'real tour' above. Practice your skills with this example of Palm's City Resort, Darwin.

 
How to Share and Embed your Tour on your Website or via Email and Social Media
 
Embedding the tour on your own website, or sharing via email, or social media is accomplished in a few steps. It is much like embedding a YouTube player or basic Google Direction Maps.

 

1. Find the view you want to start with (each time you move the view a different code will be generated).

2. Once you have the starting view the way you would like, click the "three dots" at the top left of the screen and next to your business name and click on the 'Share or Embed a Map' link.

 

 

3. Copy the URL link directly from this window (for sharing via email). Or click "Embed a Map". This will give you options to custom size the embedded window for your website.

4. From there copy the code and place on your site or in your email.

Now you are on your way to digital marketing stardom!
