Virtual tours are simulations of existing spaces, usually composed of a sequence of still images. Virtual tours are designed to allow your customers and clients to see the business from any device and are essential to incorporate into the business model.
Digital platforms such as social media and websites allow visually impressive elements. Visual content such as 360 tours around the office space helps to represent the brand to its highest level when published onto digital platforms. Virtual tours provide engaging content that makes users want to stay on your website. Most website users visit on landing pages for no more than 59 seconds, so if you do not manage to capture a user’s attention in less than a minute, you will have lost them.
Below are five reasons why your business needs a virtual tour:
- Increase SEO
Research shows that photos tend to rank higher than ones without, typically because users spend more time on a Google listing with 360 images. This, in turn, tells Google that people are interested in the business and ranks the listing higher.
Local SEO can be a misinterpreted element of online ranking for local businesses. Most users either do not understand or see the point in having an excellent regional SEO strategy. This may be because it takes time for a company to see SEO results. Usually, it takes around three months before a business notices an appearance because they are not used to SEO tracking.
Virtual 360 tours help to increase overall only engagement. Call to action buttons such as call now, book now, contact us and lead the direction on your landing page. Adding virtual tours to your landing page can help increase the use of a website, encouraging visitors to spend more time browsing and generate a lead.
You can also combine a virtual tour onto your social media. A small part of this algorithm considers the social signs from your business or brand. Suppose you already have people engaging with your business’s social media platforms. In that case, it makes it easier for Google to find you and evaluate your brand’s importance to the community.
2. Adds Business Personality
Three hundred sixty virtual tours provide an excellent representation for your brand and business at first glance. First impressions are always crucial when entering a landing page. As previously mentioned, a user spends no longer than a minute before deciding to bounce, therefore being greeted with a virtual tour immediately shows odd your company’s personality.
It is easier for potential customers to identify with you and your business if a 360 virtual tour was to be added to your landing page. The virtual tours provide authenticity and straight away get a taste of your brand identity without having to do much.
3. Increases Brand Equity
By adding a virtual tour to your website will encourage brand equity. Virtual tours do not just tell people about your business or products; it shows them. A visually impressive landing page will allow users to perceive the brand identity you want to be. It helps demonstrate that your company is open, honest, and transparent without being in so many words. Virtual tours help provide customer relationship responses, delivering a community and environment before affiliation with the product or brand.
A 360 tour gives potential customers a ‘real insight’ into how a company operates and feels physically and emotionally and is suitable for them. People know exactly what your business does and who they are dealing with right from the get-go.
4. Provides Insight
Visual content is more receptive to today’s internet audience. Businesses need to stay up to date with the needs and wants of their consumers. Today’s internet users are more receptive to content that allows them to interact, visualise and quickly understand.
A virtual tour is also an essential research tool for users as it allows them to refine their search easily and make an informed decision about your business. The visual aspect will enable customers to feel for the space or service available and what they should expect to find when working with you.
