Once upon a time, the only way to showcase your business on Google was through Google Street View Trusted photographers. These certified pros helped businesses get listed with immersive 360° photos and panoramic tours — a revolutionary step in digital visibility. 🎯 Turn your camera skills into cash — start your Google Street View agency now!
But in 2025, things have changed. The world of virtual tours has evolved beyond just Google Maps. Businesses now need flexibility, branding, analytics, and integration — not just a panoramic photo on the internet. A real estate video app helps realtors showcase properties with immersive video content buyers expect to see today.
That’s where CloudPano comes in. ☁️
CloudPano isn’t just another 360° tour platform — it’s a complete virtual experience builder. It empowers creators, marketers, and business owners to design interactive, branded, and SEO-friendly virtual tours that go far beyond what Google Street View alone can offer.

While Google Street View remains a fantastic way to get discovered, it comes with limitations — especially for modern creators who need scalability, control, and ROI tracking.
Here’s where those old systems fall short:
Once you upload imagery to Google Maps, your tour lives on Google’s servers, not yours. You can’t change branding, update hotspots, or add lead forms later.
You have no insights into how many people view your virtual tour, where they click, or how it impacts engagement or sales.
Your logo, your CTA, your identity — all gone. It’s Google’s environment, not yours.
Many Street View tools and uploaders are clunky, slow, and dependent on older desktop systems.
Working with certified “Google Trusted” providers often involves one-time payments for limited visibility — but no long-term ownership or integration.
CloudPano solves all these pain points — and more.
CloudPano is a Google Street View publishing partner, which means you can still push your tours directly to Google Maps for global visibility.
✅ Capture your 360° images
✅ Upload them into CloudPano
✅ Add hotspots, text, and audio narration
✅ Click “Publish to Google Street View”
Boom — your business is now live across the world’s biggest map platform. 🌎
But here’s where it gets better: CloudPano doesn’t stop there. You can also:
That means you get both Google’s audience and your own owned marketing assets.
Unlike the rigid environment of Street View, CloudPano gives you complete design flexibility.
You can:
Your virtual tour becomes a digital sales presentation — not just a static panorama.
💬 Imagine this: A potential homebuyer clicks through a 360° home tour, hears a friendly voice explaining each feature, and clicks a “Schedule a Viewing” button inside the tour. That’s the power of CloudPano’s customization.
CloudPano doesn’t just live in isolation. You can integrate it directly into your marketing ecosystem.
This turns your 360° tours into lead-generating assets, not just visual add-ons.
CloudPano is built with scalability in mind. Agencies and photographers can white-label their accounts, meaning you can:
This makes CloudPano a dream for entrepreneurs in the virtual media space.
💰 Example: You shoot a restaurant’s 360° tour, upload it to CloudPano, and deliver it through your branded domain. You charge $499 setup + $29/month for hosting. CloudPano quietly powers it in the background while you profit.
Unlike Street View, CloudPano gives you performance insights:
This is invaluable for businesses that care about ROI tracking and lead attribution.
Knowing which rooms, products, or features get the most attention helps you optimize future marketing efforts.

CloudPano tours aren’t just for browsers — they’re VR headset compatible.
