Why market your business on Google Business View?

 
• Greater Houston is the third largest city in the United States, with population of over 6 millions people per 2010. The State of Texas has more than 25 million population.
• By 2010, more than 17 million people in Texas are internet users. This means more than 17 million people, a huge audience for marketing potentials.
• Google is the largest and most used search engine in the world. Per 2012, it was the first site in the history that reaches 1 billion users. It also counts for 79% of United States’ search engine share, while Yahoo! and Bing gets only 9% each. AOL, AskJeeves and others only account to less than 1%. Furthermore, while 73% of all online activities are related to local content, 97% of Google’s consumer search are directed toward local business online. Move over, Yellow Pages and Newspaper.
• The cost of other marketing methods have become prohibitive if not ineffective compared to internet marketing. You can hardly go under $1000 for a 15-second television spot, and several hundred dollars at least is required to post effective advertising on major newspapers and magazines. In 2013, four editions of a 1-inch space in a column in Houston Chronicle costs $300. A 1/4 page ads in 002 Magazine (72,000 copies) cost $1,815. The average rate for a :60 commercial running in Houston, TX is about $381.33 (www.radioloungeusa.com). Yet we all know a single posting or showing does nothing to enhance sales. Needs for repeated postings means continuous spending that can easily hurt instead of help the business.
• You only need to pay a one-time fee for a Google Business View feature, yet the result will be displayed at indefinite time in Google’s worldwide system. The price is comparable to setting up a small column that runs on your local newspaper for several weeks only. Considering duration of availability, number of audiences and coverage area, Google Business View clearly gives the best bang for your buck.

 
• Google has been very kind to small to medium businesses. Every business are allowed to create their profile in Google+ for free, and every business should take advantage from the world’s largest search engine.
• There are many great things you can add to your Google+, and Google Business View is one of the greatest. By sharing the views of your business’ physical spaces, you advertise your business to potentially anyone that uses Google. By experiencing your physical place through Google 360º panorama, your clients build a long lasting memory and trust for your business.
• If you spend a lot of effort and money in your interior, this is the chance to let it shine for the world, not just for people that enters your door.
• If you have unique products to sell, or are trying to introduce new market to local community, Google Business View will let them see with their own eyes.
• Nowadays, so many people use Google before they visit a business.
• People coming from out-of-town are increasingly dependent on internet to visit a local business place. Their lifesavers are online maps and search engines such as Google.
• The Google Business View and its panorama can be accessed from your computers, laptops and most mobile devices.
• You can also display the interactive panorama in your own website
• Google’s 360º virtual tour is likely to be the cheapest way to have 360º virtual tour of your business.
