What this property needed

Kenko needed two things that are related but not the same: a tour of its own, and a presence inside Google. Most businesses have the first and not the second, which means their interior only exists for people who have already found their website. The Street View Trusted programme puts the interior inside Google Maps and Google Search instead — at the moment someone nearby is looking.

How we captured it

We captured the interior in 360° and took it down two paths. The imagery was published to Google Maps through the Street View Trusted programme and attached to the Google Business Profile, and the same capture was built into a standalone interactive tour for the website. One shoot, two placements, which is generally the most efficient way to buy both.

What we delivered

  • 360° interior photography
  • Published to Google Maps via Street View Trusted programme
  • Standalone interactive tour for the website
  • Imagery attached to the Google Business Profile

The problem this solves

Publishing the interior to Google Maps puts the space in front of people at the exact moment they are searching nearby — inside the result itself, not a click away.

How the tour gets used

The Google Maps publication works passively — it is there whenever someone searches, without anyone having to click through to a website first. The standalone tour does the job the Maps imagery cannot: it lives on the site, carries navigation, and can be embedded or linked wherever the business wants it.

Common questions

What is the Street View Trusted programme?

It is Google's certification for photographers publishing verified 360° imagery directly into Google Maps and Google Business Profiles. YouSee360 is a certified Google Trusted photographer in Costa Rica.

What was delivered for Kenko?

360° interior photography, publication to Google Maps through the Street View Trusted programme, imagery attached to the Google Business Profile, and a standalone interactive tour for the website.

Do I need both a Street View publication and my own tour?

They do different jobs. Street View reaches people searching in Google before they reach your site; your own tour gives you navigation, branding and a link you control. One capture can feed both.
