General Questions about Virtual Tours, Matterport, and Google Street View
WalkThru360 has been a part of the Google Street View program since the early roll-out as we gained accreditation in 2014. We have lived and breathed 360° photography and the technology that makes it possible. Our depth of experience has given us the years to hone our processes and have a strong command of the technology. We are proud to produce the most visually beautiful and user-friendly interactive content for our clients.
With the introduction of Matterport, we have embraced the technological evolution and fully integrated the power of the platform when applicable. WalkThru360’s creative and professional processes ensure that you get a great result from your virtual tour project.
WalkThru360 maintains Google Street View Trusted Photographer accreditation, giving us the ability to directly publish onto Google business profiles for our clients.
WalkThru360 virtual tours are custom projects that are quoted individually based on size and complexity of the layout. Basic tours begin at $375 with the average cost falling in the $750 to $1000 range. Our depth of experience with hundreds of businesses allows us to quote accurately with basic information. Simply fill out the quote request form, and we will follow up right away with a no-hassle quote.
Matterport tours have yearly hosting fees in addition to the production cost. Tours published to the Google Maps Street View platform will be active free of charge until deleted. Google occasionally changes how this content is presented, so the location of the links is subject to change.
WalkThru360 has helped new and established businesses look great online since 2014 through robust Google My Business profile optimizations. Google profiles thrive on content and by publishing high-quality visual content like 360° imagery, your profile rises above the competition.
The ultimate combination of visual content optimization is our full coverage package including both 360° interactive virtual tours and a set of still images. By publishing professionally produced content into these 2 buckets (360° and still images), you improve that crucial first impression of your company across Google. For the one-time production fee, your company will enjoy great branding and visual content for years on Google Search and Google Maps.
The results have been impressive as people have seen our content and our virtual tours have logged nearly 100 million views on the Google platform!
The Virtual Tour production experience with WalkThru360 begins before we arrive on-site as we work with each client to prepare for success. We have the experience to help coach our clients on everything big and small that is necessary for a great virtual tour. On average we spend 1 to 2 hours on site to capture the footage needed to produce the virtual tours.
For larger properties, over 10,000 square foot, the capture process can take a bit longer. During the scheduling call, we will help you to find the best time that causes the least disruption for your day-to-day business. If necessary we can schedule early in the morning or late in the evening to ensure the best results.

Matterport 3D Virtual Tours must connect visually to be integrated into one 3D model.
If the space spans different levels that do not connect, we can create an additional Matterport 3D and connect the two with visual links. See how we connected the main floor with a rooftop lounge in the Workbox Matterport 3D.
