When considering a virtual tour, the marketing advisors at Identity Dental Marketing recommend a Google Street View virtual tour. These tours (created by Google Street View Trusted Photographers) can be embedded on a website as well. Here's how you can embed a Google virtual tour on your website:

  1. Find Your Google Virtual Tour:

    • Ensure that a Google Street View Trusted Photographer has created a virtual tour of your business and that it's published on Google Maps as part of your Google Business Listing.

  2. View the Tour:

    • Go to your business's Google Maps listing.

  3. Access the Virtual Tour:

    • Look for a "See Inside" or similar button on your Google Business Listing. Clicking on this button will open the virtual tour.

  4. Get the Shareable Link:

    • Once the virtual tour is open, find the "Share" or "Embed" option. Google usually provides a shareable link and an embed code.

  5. Embed the Virtual Tour on Your Website (Identity Dental Marketing can assist you with the embedding):

    • In your website's content management system (e.g., WordPress, Joomla, Wix, etc.), create a new page or edit an existing one where you want to add the virtual tour.

    • If you have an embed code, paste it into the HTML of your webpage. Typically, you would use an HTML or Custom Code block or editor to do this. The embed code should be placed in the body of your webpage where you want the virtual tour to appear.

    • If you have a shareable link, you can often embed it using an iframe. Create an iframe element in your HTML code and set the source (src) attribute to the shareable link.

    • Adjust the dimensions and settings of the iframe to fit your website's layout and design.

  6. Test the Embedded Virtual Tour:

    • Preview the webpage to ensure that the embedded virtual tour displays correctly and is functional.

Please note that the exact steps and options may vary depending on the specific content management system and website builder you're using. Additionally, Google's features and interfaces can change over time, so it's a good idea to refer to Google's official documentation or seek assistance from a web developer if you encounter any issues with embedding your Google virtual tour on your website.
