Before you can publish your business interior, you’ll need high-quality 360° images.
Mount your camera on a tripod and capture from multiple positions throughout your space:
💡 Tip: Capture at eye level (5–6 ft) to simulate a natural walking experience.
Once your 360° images are ready, head over to Street View Studio, Google’s official platform for publishing 360° imagery to Maps.
You can access it here: https://streetviewstudio.maps.google.com
Then:
🎯 If you’re uploading a series of connected images (like walking through your store), you’ll connect these later as “linked scenes.”
Next, it’s time to upload your 360° photos.
Simply drag and drop your image files into Street View Studio. Each file should have GPS metadata (latitude and longitude) embedded. Most modern 360° cameras do this automatically.
If not, you can use CloudPano or Google Earth to manually set your location pins. 📍
If you’re creating multiple virtual tours (for example, several franchise locations or campus buildings), use CloudPano first to organize, edit, and geotag your scenes before publishing to Google.
CloudPano makes it easy to:
In Street View Studio, you’ll connect your images to simulate movement through your business.
For example:
Each link lets users “walk” through your space with simple clicks or swipes.
💡 Think of each 360° photo as a node on a map — linking them creates the full journey.
Before your imagery can go live, Google will confirm that your uploaded panoramas match your business listing.
To do this:
If everything checks out, your Street View upload will be processed within a few hours to a few days.
📍 Verification ensures authenticity and prevents false imagery uploads.
Before you click “Publish,” polish your panoramas for maximum visual impact.
You can use editing software like:
💬 A professional-looking virtual tour reflects directly on your brand quality.
Once everything looks perfect, it’s time to go live!
In Street View Studio:
Once approved, users will see your tour as part of your Google Maps listing — complete with a “See Inside” button.
🎉 Congratulations — your business is now fully explorable in 360°!
💡 Most uploads go live within 24–48 hours, depending on Google’s review queue.
Now that your tour is published, you can embed it anywhere you want!
If you used CloudPano to create your tour, you can also embed an interactive version with your brand’s logo, buttons, and analytics — all hosted privately on your domain.
Once live, you can track your virtual tour’s performance through your Google Business Profile insights or CloudPano analytics dashboard.
Look for metrics such as:
💬 These insights help you measure ROI and refine future tours for better engagement.
Google rewards freshness — so don’t treat your virtual tour as a one-time project.
Update your 360° imagery when:
Use your updated CloudPano or Street View Studio uploads to replace outdated scenes.
💡 An updated tour signals to Google (and your customers) that your business is active and well-maintained.
