From the sky to the street, Strategic Air Captures is growing to meet the visual marketing needs of Northeastern Ohio.
At Strategic Air Captures, we built our reputation by providing breathtaking, high-precision aerial perspectives. Whether it is visually inspecting infrastructure, assessing property damage, or capturing the perfect twilight shot of a real estate listing, our mission has always been to give our clients a competitive edge through cutting-edge imagery.
As our business has grown, so have the needs of our clients. Today, we are thrilled to announce the next natural evolution of our services: 360° Google Street View Virtual Tours for local businesses.
A Natural Tangent: From Aerials to Interiors
Our journey indoors started with real estate. From day one, we have focused on providing premium aerial photography and videography to help realtors showcase the exterior and surrounding property of their listings. But a property is more than just its exterior.
To provide a truly comprehensive media package, we began expanding our equipment and expertise to include high-resolution 360° interior walkthroughs for residential and commercial properties (stay tuned—we will be launching a dedicated service page for our real estate 360° tours very soon!).
While developing our workflow for high-resolution 360° interior tours, it became clear that this exact same technology could solve a massive problem for local brick-and-mortar businesses.
If homebuyers want to walk through a house before they visit, consumers want to walk through a restaurant, retail store, or salon before they book a table or an appointment. The leap from private real estate tours to public-facing Google Maps tours was an obvious and exciting next step for our team.
What This Means for Local Businesses
Take a look around! Use your mouse or touchscreen to explore this recent tour we captured for Cortland Collaborative Cafe:
By adding Google Street View photography to our arsenal, we can now help local establishments in Cortland, Warren, Youngstown, and beyond maximize their online footprint.
When a business invests in a 360° Google Street View tour, they are not just getting great photos. They are getting an interactive, 24/7 open house that lives directly on their Google Business Profile. This service allows our commercial clients to:
- Boost Local SEO: A complete, interactive profile signals quality to Google.
- Build Immediate Trust: Customers can explore the ambiance and layout before they arrive.
- Stand Out from the Competition: An immersive tour instantly elevates a business above standard static listings.
Best of all, unlike proprietary virtual tour software that charges monthly hosting fees, Google Street View tours are hosted by Google for free. Our clients simply pay a one-time fee for our time and expertise in capturing the images, constructing the virtual tour, and uploading them to your Google Business/Maps Profile; the marketing benefits last for years to come.
