Google Street View Trusted virtual tours of business interiors are now offered by MIT Images 360 (mitimages360.com).

MIT Images 360, a division of MIT Images LLC, a photography and videography company, provides 360-degree virtual tours of the interiors of many different types of businesses. The tours are published on Google Maps, Google Search and Google Plus, enhancing a business’s presence across Google.

For a one-time fee, MIT Images 360 owner Lori Black takes several panoramic photos of the business interior, puts them into Google’s software, and Google then publishes it. Costs are determined by the size of the business and the number of panoramic photos required, generally starting at $400. The service is available to any type of business, including restaurants, bars, retail stores, banquet halls, auto dealerships, medical buildings and offices.

“All businesses have a Street View posting on their Google pages that shows the outside of the business,” Black said. “This service uses the same Google technology to bring that tour inside the business for prospective customers to see. The tours instill more confidence and trust in the business among prospective customers.”

Google reports businesses with the virtual tour experience on average 50 percent more web traffic and 20 percent more foot traffic, Black said. For more information about  MIT Images 360 please visit mitimages360.com or call (402) 770-5198.
