Typically we plan an hour photo shoot for businesses under 2000 sq ft. Often, it takes less than an hour to complete. Larger businesses may take more time to complete scanning. Our priority is to create a comprehensive scan regardless of the size of the home, to ensure an optimal final product.
Virtual tours are especially useful for businesses. They allow potential customers the opportunity to tour a business at their own leisure. We post business tours and commercial spaces to Google Street View for our clients. According to Google, when consumers search for a business, they use mapping products 44% of the time. On average, 41% of those searches result in an on-site visit. However, listings with both photos and a virtual tour are twice as likely to generate interest.
We strive to make the scanning process as easy as possible for our clients. All that we ask from a business owner is to have the location presentable and ready to be scanned. Don't forget to remove unwanted things that may detract from the final look such as marketing materials on the counters, signs, and trashcans. If they property is ready for regular business then it's ready to be scanned. We create all related products following a single scanning session.
We recommend scheduling the photo shoot before or after regular business hours to avoid having people in the establishment. People can distract from the business tour. Also, Google requires that all people be blurred out.
First we setup our equipment and then we adjust lighting, blinds, doors, fans and more to ensure the best scan. All the necessary scans of the inside and outside of the property are taken.
Following scanning, we make any necessary edits and process the files to create the final 3D virtual tour. After finishing the tour, we create the photos, Facebook panos, highlight video, and more.
We provide all links and photos that the client needs. Residential real estate tours can be uploaded to Realtor.com automatically and Commercial spaces will be uploaded to Google Street View.
We continually monitor our tours to determine their effectiveness. Metrics such as views, unique visitors and more are tracked. Advanced tools are available through the various distribution channels.
