For retail stores, apparel boutiques, furniture showrooms, and automobile dealerships, foot traffic is the lifeblood of retail revenue. When local shoppers search for products nearby on Google Maps, seeing an inviting 360° interior walkthrough on your Google Business Profile builds product confidence. Shoppers preview store aisles, inspect luxury displays, and verify inventory quality before traveling to your physical store. In this guide, we explore retail 360 solutions.

Retail showrooms face two key local marketing challenges:
