A Google 360 virtual tour is a set of linked panoramic photos of your location that customers can explore from your Google Business Profile, Maps and your website. It is worth doing when the physical space helps sell, such as a showroom, resort, restaurant, venue, salon or retail store, because it lets customers see exactly what they will walk into before they visit.

Reshoot after a remodel or a major change in layout. An outdated tour is worse than none because it sets the wrong expectation.
Frequently asked questions
Do 360 tours help rankings?
Google does not say they are a ranking factor. They improve how complete and engaging your profile is, which can help customers choose you.
Can I shoot it myself?
You can with the right camera and app, but professional tours look better and connect correctly.
