Google Street View Certification for our company took a long time using high-quality DSLR cameras and 180º glass lenses. The process is lengthy but gives great quality images. The certification was done under user Dealer Elements, in the USA, (Houston, Texas). Back when it was necessary to study and pass certification tests and use DSLR cameras only.

There are those who use simpler cameras and lower-quality images. Or with a great camera but lack of training therefore not producing professional-grade work. As a matter of fact, if you would like for us to get the job done instantly (lower quality) we too can use simple 360 cameras and charge lower prices as the post-processing workload is reduced. But so is the imagery quality. You the business owner choose how you want to represent your business.

Once certification is completed ONLY THEN is any photographer allowed to legally display the “Trusted” Logo from Google.

Given that we are conversant in both English & Arabic. The two logos we are allowed to use are

Official English Version of the logoGoogle Maps Street View trusted photographer badge - English

Official Arabic version of the logoGoogle Maps Street View trusted photographer badge - Arabic

Google certified 360 photographers with plenty of experience. We can do this for any size business, real estate included.

If you would like us to only capture the images, we can do that too. Just let us know what bracketing you want.

For those who want images in RAW format, we can do that too!

In fact, we have done the above for companies that are outside Oman and managed to get contracts to do such works here. So to save them trips, we do the work and they finish the work for their clients themselves. This means you too can trust that our work is clean and of such high standards that you can present it as your own.

Here’s an example!

4. Google My Business (GMB) / Google Maos Name Claim

claiming a business on Google maps or Google My Business

Over 98% of businesses in Oman are not claimed for 2 reasons!!

  1. People do not know how to (we can help)
  2. Established IT firms want too much money to do this time-consuming task (for Oman) and most often, they ignore smaller businesses (we can help)

Basically, if your business is listed on google maps and shows that it can be claimed, it simply means you have no control over your account and that you are losing a lot of customers. When a business is “claimed” it is also “verified” after this happens, you get total control of your account on most search engines that simply copy results from google! The area where your business shows on search results (if it is on the right – for English displayed results or on the left – for Arabic of the displayed results) is called Knowledge Graph.

Once your business is “verified” you will have;

  • ability to respond to reviews,
  • remove unrelated images posted to your business results,
  • change/edit/add images about your business,
  • get access to insights about how people reach your business,
  • access info. on calls to your business and best hours and so many other things…. let’s talk.

We have already helped several businesses in Oman get a handle and control of their business online, we know how to! Let us help you!

5. 360º Web Marketing

Most marketing companies stop at newspapers, TV, Radio, and website, some go as far as Instagram. But there’s more to marketing than that!

6. The Right Approach

Most marketing money is spent in the same places today as it was spent 20 years ago… things have changed, people rarely ready “hard copy” newspapers and books, but rather everything is done on smart mobile devices. Isn’t it time more focus is spent there? Google estimates that over 70% of search is done on smart devices. Our marketing is focused on making sure that customers are reached in whichever media they choose to use!

7. Digital Footprint and Interconnections

Most marketers know the importance of digital footprints, however, they tend to ignore it, because work their scope is only website creation. As a business owner, you should know that any identity (account) you establish online is considered to be a footprint, and any post you publish online is a footprint as well. Therefore it is extremely important that you create accounts in every social platform that your local customers interact with. In the case of Oman, that is LinkedIn®, Twitter®, Instagram®, Facebook®, Snapchat®, and YouTube®. WhatsApp® Business, Facebook® Business, and Instagram® Business accounts are also a must to establish. Other ignored (but equally important digital footprints) include AppleMaps®, FourSquare®, and many other maps and online business listings.

8. SEO

SEO or Search Engine Optimization is a very common word that even non-tech-savvy customers know very well. But it is rarely ever applied! Almost every client we talked to knows that they need to include “keywords” in every single online post they make, but they rarely do it. Goes to prove that knowledge is not power, however, “application of knowledge” yields power. We analyze all your “digital footprints” and let you know how and where the keywords make the most impact and also “which” keywords the customers actually react to (not which keywords, you or I think should work).

9. Detailed Consultation

Before embarking on any mission or project, we sit with customers to understand what it is that they are trying to accomplish and to see if they already have a measuring stick to make sure that they get exactly what they want. Many times we find that they know what they want, but the approach or medium used is not the right one. For instance, if your desire is to promote Oman heritage and sell antiques… Instagram is the 50% wrong media and selling everything in Arabic is a 50% wrong approach. Your customers are not only in Oman or only in the Middle East, but they are also in Europe, the Far East, the USA, etc.! So marketing is to be done to them via media that they access!!!
