💼 How Freelancers Are Using Google Maps to Grow Their Business

1. 📍 Set Up Your Google Business Profile (Yes, Even If You’re Solo)

Your Google Business Profile is the #1 way to appear when people search for:

  • “Real estate agent near me”
  • “Realtor in [Your City]”
  • “Best agents near [ZIP]”

It builds authority, lets you share reviews, and boosts your credibility instantly.

2. 🎥 Add Street View Tours to Listings (or Sell the Service)

360° virtual tours uploaded to Google Maps increase engagement by up to 80% and help your listings rank better on local search.

Whether you’re the agent or the photographer, you can either:

  • Upload the tour directly using CloudPano
  • Sell the service to other agents

📌 Become certified:

3. 🧠 Use Google Maps to Find Local Leads

Use Google Maps to:

  • Identify homes for sale with no tour
  • Find vacant or outdated listings
  • Reach out with a value-driven offer (like “I noticed your listing has no virtual tour. I can fix that today.”)

Then, automate follow-up with Leadstack.ai to stay top-of-mind.

  • Profile optimization
  • Monthly photo uploads
  • Google Posts
  • Review generation
  • Tour publishing

  3. Forward leads to local agents
  4. Charge $500–$1,500/month
