360º Virtual Tours
There are two key elements to consider here; the Google Street View tour, and the overlay which adds the navigation, photos, video, web-links and "calls-to-action" - this is what we'll embed on your website.

The quote
We decide what areas of your business you want to show off to your customers, and work out a "route" through the business. We can include staff/models in the tour if you want, though this will add to the shoot time.
The quote is based on the number of panoramas required, as this directly effects the post-production, as well as the shoot duration.
Remember we can also show different room set-ups within the tour, as well as your gardens, outbuildings, and the front of the business/street.
Project Management
We arrange a shoot date/time at the best time for you and your business, so we fit around you, managing everything to make the process as simple as possible.
The Shoot
We often start early to avoid busy customer times, and work around you. Shoots normally take a couple of hours or more for a medium sized business.
Editing/Post-Production
The panoramas are individually stitched together, then we will remove any distractions, like the tripod shadow or scuff marks on walls, colour balance different light sources, and sharpen for Google.
The panoramas are then moderated into a tour, and uploaded to Google Maps, Search, Street View and Google Mobile Apps.
We will tell you when it's published across Google.
Overlay
Most clients choose to use an overlay, adding in the menu, pop-ups with photos, video and calls-to-action. This is what we embed on your website and share on social media.
There is a one-off fee for creating the overlay, and an annual licence, which includes updating the overlay through the year with new photos/info, without any downtime.
