Google Street View Preparation Checklist

Preparing your business before a Google Street View photoshoot helps ensure that your virtual tour presents your location at its best.

At 24DIGI, we use professional 360° panoramic photography to create interactive tours that allow potential customers to explore your business on Google Maps.

Unlike traditional photographs, a 360° tour captures everything surrounding the camera. Preparing your space in advance helps create a clean, welcoming, and professional presentation.

Use the interactive checklist below to prepare your business before your scheduled photography session. Check off each task as you complete it. Your progress will be saved automatically in your browser.

We recommend completing cleaning, organizing, and other preparations at least one day before your appointment whenever possible.
