A virtual tour of your shop: open 24/7, 365 days a year
Your shutters come down at 7 pm. Your shop stays open. Every day, dozens of people look at your Google listing or your website, hesitate... and never come in. A virtual tour opens your door to them at any hour. They discover your aisles, understand what you sell and walk through the real door with confidence. The Surplus Hector shop in Toulouse saw its sales rise by 30% after its tours went online.
Virtual tours, the new standard for local shops
Online, your shop is no longer a shop front and three photos: it is a place people can explore. The hesitation goes, and the visit to the shop follows.
- 01
Take the worry out of the first step
By touring your aisles remotely, customers know what they will find and come in ready to buy.
- 02
Win back the edge over online retailers
Your shop and your advice reach the customer's sofa. They discover you online and buy from you.
- 03
Widen your catchment area
Shared on your website and social media, the tour reaches far beyond your neighbourhood.
From the shopping centre to the corner shop
Market the vacant units in your shopping centre with a virtual tour
- Let retailers who decide from a distance tour your units
- Give the prospective tenant the dimensions of their unit
- Keep a digital record of the premises always to hand
Make people want to walk into your shop with a virtual tour
- Give customers a reason to come in
- Put your Google Business Profile to work
- Widen your catchment area
Three features that drive sales
Every option on the platform is available on every tour. Here are the three that matter most to a shop.
-
Your shop visible on Google
Immersive panoramas can enrich your Google listing and your local presence. Customers see inside your shop at the very moment they are comparing places nearby.
See Google publication → -
Points of interest on your products
Product sheets, promotions, new arrivals or opening hours: each piece of information appears in the right place along the way. Your tour becomes an aisle that keeps pace with your news.
See points of interest →
-
Contact or order from inside the tour
A button appears as the customer explores: book, order, ask a question. They act when the urge is there, without leaving the tour.

Your questions about virtual tours for shops
Capturing without closing, publishing on Google, updates, measurement. What you need to know before you start.
-
How much does a virtual tour of my shop cost?
The price depends on the floor area, the number of spaces and the content to add. The agency in your area sends you a tailored proposal after a short conversation, within 24 business hours.
-
Do I have to close the shop during the capture?
In most cases, no. The visit is scheduled at a quiet time (early in the morning or on a closing day) and is carried out zone by zone so as not to disturb your customers.
-
Does the tour appear on Google?
Immersive panoramas can be published to enrich your local presence on Google, depending on the project and the platform's rules. The full tour is shared by link on your website, your social media and your marketing materials.
-
Can I update the tour when the shop changes?
Yes. The embedded content (product sheets, promotions, information) can be updated. A new capture can also be scheduled after a major refit.
-
What do we measure once it is online?
The number of views, where visitors come from, the most-viewed areas and clicks through to your website or contact details. Enough to know what the tour brings you, with the figures to prove it.
-
Is it suitable for a very small shop?
Yes. A neighbourhood bakery captured in 360° clocked up 20,000 views in three months without even having a website. The tour was its only channel of visibility online.
