Google Street View Trusted Photographer Utah

Local Place View
Four years ago, Brian Armstrong started his own SEO Company, Social Tap Marketing. After many years in sales and computers, Brian knew that he could offer a better way to handle the online marketing of businesses that would keep his clients happy and profitable. He understood the importance of small local businesses and how important their online presence was to the growth of their business as well as the community. Brian uses many different techniques to make sure that his clients are getting the best optimization for their company. The most common techniques used and known are SEO, PPC (pay per click), and social media management. Brian is always looking for the greatest method to show his clients the results they want. In doing this, Brian discovered a new way to help his clients reach more potential customers.  He saw the need for high definition imagery and geo-tagged photography of businesses.

What better way to improve your SEO than to use the newest technology offered by the most used search engine in the world? With this knowledge Brian started his second company, Local Place View, in December 2014. Local Place View are Google certified Street View photographers. The photographers had to go through unique Google training and use Google equipment to offer this service to businesses.  Local Place View uses the Street View technology and takes it inside the business to show it in a unique premium-quality, 360–degree interactive virtual tour. These tours are hosted absolutely free on Google Maps and show up directly in the Google Search results. They can also be embedded on the business’s personal website,Facebook, and engagement can be tracked using Google Analytics. Every picture taken is geo-tagged with the business’s address which helps make Google see the business as more legitimate and therefore more geographically relevant in local searches.

After only a few months of being certified Google photographers, Local Place View was awarded the title “Top Performing Google Trusted Photographer of Utah.” Local Place View was honored to receive this award because it meant that in all of Utah we had shot the most virtual tours and had the best quality tours. This title also allowed our customers to know they were using unsurpassed photographers to show their business in the finest way possible. The images we take are to show off the client’s business but also show future customers our attention to detail and reflect our business as well. Since we are representing ourselves as well as the client’s business you can be assured that we will always go above and beyond to ensure satisfaction. In August, Local Place View received their second photographer certification, making us the only company in Utah to have two photographers. Local Place View only sees expansion in their future.

Local Place View compliments Social Tap Marketing because it offers an unbeatable optimization resource for businesses. Brian has seen his customers increase their search engine rankings immensely in local searches just by having a Virtual Tour of their business done. It also increases click-through rates on the business’s website and an escalation of in-store customers. However, Brian understands that not all businesses want these tours done which is why he presents it as purely an option to his SEO clients.
