Google Virtual Tour provides users with the opportunity to freely ‘walk’ around the inside the business with just their computers, mobile phones, or tablets. This is made possible with Google’s Street View technology, where several stunning panoramic shots are seamlessly joined together to create a 360-degree view of your business. It improves the trust and interest a customer will have. Therefore, it is in your best interest to place it on any business listing you may have. The issue is, outside of Google My Business, uploading it onto other sites is difficult. Here at 23e2 Digital Marketing, we understand this frustration, and have created this guide to help you upload a Google 360 Virtual Tour onto Facebook.

Please note: Due to new Facebook updates, only Facebook pages with 2,000 likes or more can create custom tabs to embed virtual tours.

Using Page Tabs
You can add custom Page tabs via Facebook. These custom Page tabs load content from your web server using an iframe. Page tabs will only be displayed in the web UI. Mobile custom tabs are not supported at this time.

“To ensure tabs lead to high-quality, accurate content, the Page Tabs feature is only available to Pages with 2000 or more followers, or pages managed by whitelisted apps.”
