We could not have said it better ourselves, Robin. Please view the details below about creating a virtual tour with our Google Business Photos Team.
Why the Funeral Profession?
During discussions with the “Funeral Futurist,” Robin Heppell, about how Google Business Photo Teams can enhance the funeral profession we discovered something – funeral homes are a perfect match for the Google Virtual Tour Program.
Our Reasons:
1. Over 5 million Google customers search the term “funeral home” every month
2. Providing visual access to your funeral home will address consumers’ needs while giving your business a competitive edge.
3. Each funeral home is as unique as the people it serves. A Google Virtual Tour will display that aesthetic to potential customers quickly and effectively.
4. Google Virtual Tours increase the amount of time customers spend on your website. This helps them make personal connections with your business, which facilitates a working relationship between consumer and business owner.
5. Our tours are so unique that customers will share them with friends and family; building your funeral home’s good reputation.
6. Google is the # 1 search engine. Therefore, creating a Google Virtual Tour is the ultimate way to increase your funeral home’s exposure to potential customers.
After realizing that our Google Business Photo Team would be an asset to the funeral industry, we decided to introduce ourselves by learning the funeral profession’s protocol. Robin Heppell helped us test the waters – he sent us to a tough customer known as “Mr. Non-Techie”, Ernie Heffner. According to Robin, if Ernie saw value in our work Google Virtual Tours and funeral homes would be a great match. Ernie was reluctant at first because he only went along with the experiment as a favor to Robin. However, his attitude quickly transformed from reluctance to active support and promotion after he saw our process and its results. After watching his Google Virtual Tour Ernie was nothing short of excited. ”Unbelievable!” he exclaimed. ”I’m very impressed!” He then honored us with the official “Ernie Seal of Approval” – letting his fellow funeral professionals know that our Google Photo Team is the perfect choice for funeral homes.
As a result of our innovation, Heffner Funeral Chapel and Crematory became one of the first funeral homes in the Google Virtual Tours system. Its success marks the beginning of a blossoming relationship between funeral homes and our Google Photo Team. After working with Ernie, our next customer was Jermey at Kearney A Snyder’s ; the classic example of a traditional funeral home. You can see the tour (above) and also a representation how of this Google Virtual Tour appears in Google Street View (below ).
By making a one time investment creating a Google Virtual Tour will earn your funeral home the following benefits:
1. A professional photo shoot by a Certified Google Photo Team
2. A Google Photo Team Specialist to design your Google Virtual Tour
3. 15 Professional still shots of your establishment, provided by a Google Trusted Photographer
