The foundation of a great Street View tour is your 360° imagery.
To get started:
💡 Tip: Shoot at eye level (around 5–6 feet high) to make your Street View experience natural and immersive.
🎥 For large properties (like campuses or resorts), capture multiple connected scenes so viewers can “walk through” locations seamlessly.
Next, head to CloudPano.com and sign in to your account.
CloudPano’s intuitive interface allows you to quickly preview how your tour will look in 360° view before publishing.
💬 This step transforms your static 360° photos into an interactive navigation experience — ready for Google Street View.
For Google Street View to display your tour correctly on the map, each photo must be geotagged with accurate latitude and longitude data.
If your camera includes GPS, CloudPano will auto-detect these coordinates. 🌎
Otherwise, you can:
💡 Example:
Accurate tagging ensures your virtual tour appears exactly where users expect to find it on Google Maps.
Now that your images are uploaded and geotagged, it’s time to connect them together — so users can “walk” through your tour like Street View.
In CloudPano, use the link hotspots feature:
💬 Smooth transitions = higher engagement.
This step replicates the real-world navigation experience Google Street View is known for.

You can access these stats in your Google Business Profile dashboard — under “Photo Views” and “Engagement.”
💡 Higher engagement means better local SEO ranking and visibility.
Publishing your virtual tour is just the beginning. To maximize impact, share it across your digital ecosystem:
