Photography Services

1. When should I prepare my home for the photo shoot?

Get all preparations done in advance, do not wait until the day of the photo shoot. Experience shows it will not get done in time and the photos will suffer. Photographers do not have time or the responsibility to stage the home.

2. What are the types of things I should I prepare in the exterior of my home to help create the best photos?

Hide trash cans, hide water and garden hoses, turn off water sprinklers, clean up the yard, remove the For Sale sign

3. What are some of the things I should I prepare in the interior of my home to help create the best photos?

Declutter the kitchen counters, hide cords and remote controls, open blinds or shades where there are nice exterior views, turn off ceiling fans, turn on lights

4. What are some other ideas of things to prepare before the photo shoot?

Fully clean and stage the property before the day of the photo shoot. All pets should be removed from the property or tied up out of the way. We love pets, but they can get in the way of great photos or even prevent the photographer from working. People should also plan to be off of the property as photos often

Virtual Tours

Click on the sample virtual tour below. It will open in another window.

1. What is a virtual tour?

A virtual tour is multiple 360° images of a particular location. It includes a sequence of videos or still images, and it allows people to view an entire area without having to be physically present. The viewer is in control of what they are viewing.

2. How much control does the viewer have?

An important attribute of virtual tours is it is interactive. The viewer has the ability to control what part of the 360˚ view they are looking at, they can pan around the entire view, and the viewer also has control of changing the view when they are ready.

3. Why are virtual tours so helpful and valuable?

A virtual tour gives the viewer an incredible opportunity to view and learn about the subject matter of what they are viewing, such as a retail store setup or an office view. The viewer is in control of what they are viewing. The viewer may be able to see an entire panoramic scene or zoom in to get a closer look at a particular area.

4. How are virtual tours different than a video?

People often confuse video tours and virtual tours. They are very different. A video is not interactive and a virtual tour is. Virtual tours should not be confused with video tours, even though both types of tours may be of similar content. Videos and video tours only allow users to see one point of view at any given time.

5. What is unique of a virtual tour from Viewing Spaces?

A Viewing Spaces virtual tour can include videos, in addition to or in place of still photos. These videos would likely be short, under 1 minute, provide a 360˚ view, interactive, and controlled by the viewer. 


Website Services

1. What is web hosting and why can't I do it myself?

The hosting service stores your website files, provides backup services and provides tools to manage your website. We will gladly walk you through the process of purchasing your own hosting service. You would own all the sign in credentials (including passwords) so that you’re not depending on anyone except yourself.

2. If I can get my own hosting why do I need a company like Viewing Spaces?

You can purchase hosting with companies which also provide web building services, like Squarespace and WIX. But you are responsible for building your site and managing your site. There is a learning curve to do both. There is additional effort when you want to update your site, add landing pages, pop-ups and implement email campaigns. Viewing Spaces has the knowledge to help with these tasks. In addition, if you decide to create a more robust website, include a blog or a store, we recommend you use Viewing Spaces services to develop and manage this type of situation. We believe you have better things to do with your business than learn about this type of technology. Would you do your own legal work or hire an attorney to do the work for you?

3. You don't want to create or have a huge website.  Can Viewing Spaces create something simple for my business?

Google My Business

Are you ready to begin your Google My Business Project? Do you already have a Google My Business account and wondering why it may not be delivering the results you expected. Enter your information below and someone will get back to you and setup a free consultation.

1. Why can't I setup and manage Google My Business myself?

You can manage your GMB listing yourself. But why would you want to! It is a full time job staying current on GMB guidelines, drafting and posting announcements and updates. This is important to keep your GMB listing current and optimized. Viewing Spaces' GMB experts will manage your GMB listing for you and with you, and make certain your business is showing up in search results. You can focus on converting all of the new leads to customers. You should ask yourself how much is your time worth? And then consider would you go to law school to become your own corporate attorney?

2. I already have a great website, why do I also need Google My Business?

Most consumers search Google search engine (native search) or Google Maps when they need to make a purchase, research some information or look for a solution to their problem. It is often the case that the first impression of your business is on a Google results page. Consider that the Google My Business listing is the doorway to your business. Any business! including physical stores, offices, or home businesses. From Google My Business the path leads to your website or phone or email. It is not an either or situation but a complementary solution.

3. How do I know if Google My Business is working?

Our subscription service includes monthly performance reporting. Any activity occurring in your Google My Business account will be reported on. This includes activity and leads generated from this service and including phone calls, website visits, directions request to your business, map views, photo views, and post views.

4. Is there a setup fee to get this service started?

There is no additional setup fee to get this service started. Although, there is a lot of extra work in the first month to get the ball rolling. In the first month we will setup your GMB account, along with your help. We will agree to the monthly activity based on your goals, implement the various processes and then setup the monthly activity to achieve these goals. In addition, the monthly performance reporting is included in the monthly service.

5. Is a long term contract or commitment required?

No - While GMB service is a short term focused marketing solution, unlike typical web SEO marketing, it is highly recommended that a minimum of 3 months be applied to this service in order to realize the benefits. While SEO marketing may require a minimum of 6 months, or likely 12 months to realize benefits, GMB can usually see results in a much shorter time period. That said, when you experience great benefits in the 3 month period, it should be considered smart strategy to continue. If its working then do more.
