Most businesses want to show only the areas where the customers are allowed to go on any given business day.
Remember that the tours must follow a walking footpath, beginning from the front door. So imagine how you would walk a potential client through your business. Private offices, bathrooms and break rooms are usually not included.
However, some businesses opt to cover areas that are typically not open to the public.
For example, a veterinarian’s office may show off the back of the house to be able to show clients how clean and orderly their facilities are. Or a showroom may include the backroom where products are manufactured.
This can be beneficial for two reasons:

  1. It provides a way to publicly showcase unique areas of your business to the world via Google, all without opening them to the public.
  2. You can give a guided tour of your business on your website by embedding the tour starting from any point within it,  or by using tour enhancements that allow the viewer to choose what areas to visit.

Choosing what to show in your virtual tour can often go beyond where customers typically go. Your business’ virtual tour will expose the world to your business, any you can only link to or embed the areas that you choose to have included in your shoot.
