Google Business Photos Lets You Peek Inside

Today, at the Social-loco conference, Marissa Mayer stepped up and introduced the newest product coming out of Google Maps. With Google Places being a hit on mobile, and StreetView being a hit...well...everywhere, Maps is bringing a new feature for businesses called Google Business Photos. This gives a 360-degree view of everything inside a business. Google will even send over a photographer for the photoshoot!
