Becoming a Google Street View Trusted Photographer
In January 2016, I officially became a Google Street View Trusted Photographer.
“You've met the requirement to be trusted by Google Street View. Based on your expressed interest from the Street View app, you will be recognized in our Street View products as a trusted professional for hire — an excellent way to gain credibility and access to exclusive leads while helping others explore the world.”

The Google Street View Trusted Photographer program allows photographers to publish businesses directly into Google Maps and Google Earth as part of the Google Street View ecosystem.
By publishing a 360° virtual tour inside Google Street View, businesses can significantly improve their online visibility across Google Search, Google Maps, and Google Earth. In many ways, it acts as a powerful search engine optimization tool that helps businesses stand out from competitors who do not have immersive virtual tours integrated into Google Street View.
Having a business featured in Google Street View can improve engagement, increase visibility in local search results, and help potential customers explore a location before visiting in person.
