The service itself is innovative - I like this extension to Google Street View very much!
But what's the actual value this brings to biz owners? How do they get more customers through this?

Most sales people come to the biz owner like a yellow pages rep - do an ad and you'll be seen there, do G+ Local SEO and you get marked prominently on the map...

On the other hand are services that really have an impact
- RepManagement (biz in the 7pack, but bad reviews),
- building a mobile site (for businesses who have customers who make fast buying decisions - like bars, pubs, restaurants, cinemas, theaters).
These are an easy sale
- just show them the Google results and ask who they would choose
- or bring their site up on the phone and ask if they would be patient enough on the go to find their contact data.

This service can have an impact for certain types of biz (the ones who want to showcase their store and merchandise) because you can embed the 360 view on their website, mobile site, facebook, etc. This enables customers to browse the establishment before they visit. I would think that is very helpful, for the right types of niches.

So here's an idea that might help sell this service and benefit these business. As we all know Google has produced Google glasses and these indoor business tours will be the norm. Lets not forget that in the near future AR ( Augmented Reality ) will be the norm. Example is in Shanghai China there is a franchise AR supermarket (around 1000).

Maybe I'm a geek but man that is some cool stuff.

Yep, it's still just selling a new service to businesses.

So, do your research on who would like this... To me, it's just a new tool in the arsenal.
