Google launches Business Photos in India

Google launched Business Photos in India,
a concept that puts businesses on the map –
virtually and literally. In a pilot run, Google will take 360 degree pictures of businesses and will allow owners to upload them to their location on Google Places.

Google India’s official blog talks about the
concept of taking pictures of business interiors to add to a business’ credibility. The concept stems off the idea that a business cannot always be judged by how its office looks on the outside.

After taking permission of the business owners who want their interiors to be photographed, Google’s certified Photographers will work directly with them. The 360 degree pictures of the interiors of businesses will be posted online via Google Places. This feature was originally available only to users in USA, Australia, Japan, New Zealand, France and UK.

Countries recently added to its kitty are
Ireland, Netherlands and Canada. Now the
service has been finally launched in India.
Google Places allows owners to promote their
businesses by providing detailed information to prospective customers, finding niche audiences and enhancing brand visibility through increased searchability.
