Did you know it’s possible to update Google Street View for businesses? There are many reasons for wanting to have your local Street View imagery updated. Here are just a few.
We often get asked about updating Google Street View. Updating is now possible. If you’d like your own Google Street View, with your logo and QR code displayed in the nadir (that’s the bit you see when you look down), contact us today or read on to find out more.
As you can imagine the business owner is not very happy with this outdated representation of his business.
People also often ask about the first image people see on their Google My Business listing. Business owners are often reluctant to use their Google My Business listing when the first image on their page is of a wall, a different business or a hedge. When a fence is displayed, it is not representative of the business. We know business owners would love the facility to update Google Street View for their business.
Sometimes, there are places that the Google car doesn’t venture. For example, into some private roads or when they can’t get access. It can be quite disappointing when your beautiful building hasn’t made it on to Google Maps Street View. Here’s an example using Torrington Hall, in St Albans.
Although the view from Street View is correct for the entrance to the building’s car park, the imagery doesn’t do the building the justice it deserves.
People ask all kinds of questions about Google Street View. When will it be updated? Can I get Google Street View for areas that are off-road? Can I have Google Street View updated for my business now? In the following sections we’ve tried to answer some of these questions.
Google cars still create Google Street View. You’ll probably be familiar with the site of the cars with cameras on their roofs. You may even appear in Street View yourself somewhere, with your face blurred!
You can find out if your area is going to be re-captured soon by checking out their website.
The other way to update Google Street View businesses in your area is by engaging a Google Trusted Photographer. Google Trusted Photographers are accredited by Google to upload Google Street View to Google Maps.
