What is a 360° Virtual Tour on GMB?
A 360° virtual tour is a fully immersive, interactive visual experience of your business space that appears right on your Google listing and Maps view. It allows potential customers to explore your premises in real time, moving from one area to another with full control—just like walking through it physically.
At The Visual Media, we don’t just create virtual tours—we craft cinematic walkthroughs that bring your space to life with precise lighting, clean compositions, and brand-aligned storytelling.
Why Your Business Needs It—Now More Than Ever
✅ 1. Increased Visibility on Google
Google favors businesses that offer rich, interactive media. A 360° virtual tour can significantly boost your Local SEO ranking, making your business more visible to people searching nearby.
“Businesses with virtual tours receive up to 85% more engagement than those without.” – Google
✅ 2. Builds Instant Trust and Credibility
Let your customers explore your space transparently—from the cleanliness of your café to the layout of your showroom. It’s a powerful way to say: “We have nothing to hide—take a look around.”
✅ 3. Doubles User Engagement Time
A virtual tour makes people stay longer on your GMB profile. This signals value to Google—and improves your chances of converting clicks into calls, messages, or direct visits.
✅ 4. Works 24/7—Even While You Sleep
Your virtual tour becomes your digital storefront that’s open all day, every day—working for you long after office hours. Whether it’s a customer in the next street or another time zone, they can walk in any time they want.
Who Should Be Using It?
If your business has a physical space, you need a virtual tour.
Here’s a snapshot of where 360° tours deliver maximum ROI:
Real Estate Agencies – Showcase interiors, layout, and vibe without site visits
Hotels & Resorts – Let guests explore rooms, lobbies, dining areas
Restaurants & Cafés – Highlight ambiance, seating, and hygiene
Gyms & Salons – Show equipment, services, and luxury feel
Schools & Institutions – Build parent trust by offering a transparent campus view
