  Street View can now come inside of your business and the virtual tour photos can be accessed on Google Maps and Google Search. I also shoot still photos of your business, so all of your business photography is taken care of in one visit. A code is also provided to embed the virtual tours into your website. As a Google My Business expert, I optimize and correct any situations you may have on your Google listing.
