Unlike other content strategies that can take months to demonstrate ROI, businesses using virtual tours experience quicker results. Virtual tours meet all the criteria for effective digital content: they’re brand-specific, interactive, and engaging.
Virtual tours get over five million visits a day because they spark interest and are an important component of the decision-making process for customers.
Naturally, people spend 5-10X longer on websites with an embedded virtual tour than those without.
Virtual tours have become a crucial element of real estate marketing. Listings featuring virtual tours generally attract more attention than those without this technology. For instance, think about potential buyers searching for homes out of state—virtual tours serve as a 24/7 open house, allowing them to explore properties anytime, even when they can’t physically visit, effectively performing the role of a realtor remotely.
As virtual tours become increasingly common on business listings and real estate websites, more customers now expect them. According to Google, the majority of people desire virtual tours, with 67% of survey respondents stating that they prefer having a virtual tour when browsing a listing.
Fully completed Google listings boost engagement, brand reputation, and trust. As a result, Google businesses featuring a virtual tour tend to receive twice as much interest.
With the generational shift, millennials are more inclined to book a venue, hotel, or service if the business offers a virtual tour.
Research shows that Google prioritizes virtual imaging over standard digital photography, with a 2:1 preference for thumbnail displays. In other words, businesses with a virtual tour linked to their Google My Business listing will have their 360 thumbnails shown instead of traditional photos.
Google virtual tours play a significant role in the strength of a listing and how frequently it appears in organic search results on Google and Maps.
As expected, businesses with a Google virtual tour experience higher engagement with their listings, resulting in more conversions and greater exposure.
