Help Desk Hangouts: Business Photos
Friday, June 15, 2012
Editor’s note:
Each week on the
Google+ Your Business page
, we’re putting you in touch with Googlers and users who can help you as a business owner get the most out of our products and features.
In our latest
Help Desk Hangout On Air
, we got a tour of
Business Photos
, a way for local businesses to display beautiful interior photos on Google Maps. Business Photos gurus Aubrey and Derek guide us through some businesses already on board, show us how to sign up, and answer questions, live. Miss the event? You can watch the whole thing on the
Google and Your Business YouTube channel
.
Check out the video description on the YouTube page for a minute-by-minute breakdown.
Some of the questions we answered during the Hangout:
How do I sign up as a business owner?
The best way to sign up for a photo shoot is to go to the “
Get Started
” page on our website to find a Google certified Trusted Photographer in your area. Contact them directly to schedule a photo shoot. If there is not a photographer in your area, request a photo shoot
here
to help us expand our program to your city.
Which categories of businesses are eligible?
A wide variety of businesses can be apart of the Google Business Photos program such as restaurants, retail shops, salons, auto repair shops, auto dealerships, dental locations, and much more.
What if the I remodel my business after I’ve had photos taken?
You are welcome to contact a Trusted Photographer and coordinate an updated photo shoot, but it is up to the individual Trusted Photographer to decide the cost.
How do I sign up as a photographer?
If you are interested in becoming a Google Trusted Photographer, please
apply on our website
. A Recruiting Coordinator may be in touch with you depending on the demand of photographers in your city.
Be sure to join us for next week’s Hangout at 11 a.m. PDT Wednesday June 20, when we discuss Webmaster Academy SEO. We’ll be taking questions early next week on the
Google+ Your Business page
.
