Book The Walk-InPull up WestSide on Street View right now. Go on. It's an embarrassment. Imagery pushing a decade old. Shops that closed years ago still trading away in Google's version of Hastings. The new openings... the hobby store, the escape rooms, the galleries, the eateries... simply not there. All of it rendered in the fuzzy low resolution of a mid-2010s camera rig.
That patchy, faded snapshot is what a shopper in Havelock North, Napier or Auckland sees when they check us out. It's the first impression of our precinct for anyone who hasn't visited yet. And first impressions don't get a second go.
Your digital front door matters as much as your physical one now. Most first visits happen on a screen. Ours is telling people we stopped in 2016. We didn't.
Same streets. Years and millions of pixels apart.
The New Footage
Don't take our word for it. Fresh footage from the new capture... this is the WestSide that's going into Google Maps.
The First Walk-In
The street is only half the story. The other half is what's behind your door... and that's where The Walk-In comes in. We're connecting WestSide businesses directly into Google Street View, so a shopper can drop onto Heretaunga Street, walk to your frontage, and keep walking. Through the door. Around the shop. Full 360, navigation arrows and all.
Here's the first one. The Line Gallery, shot, connected and published to Google. Thirty seconds inside without leaving your seat.

The Service
Every day people search Hastings shops on their phone. What they find decides where they go. A name, a pin, maybe one photo of your door... that's the whole pitch most businesses make. And behind it, that tired decade-old Street View doing your precinct no favours.
The Walk-In replaces the ugh. Tap your listing and you're standing in the middle of the shop. Look around. Move through the aisles. See the stock, the fit-out, the vibe. It's the difference between reading a menu and smelling the kitchen.
This isn't a video buried on your website. It lives inside Google Maps and your Business Profile... the exact place people are already looking when they're deciding where to spend. Street to door to shop floor, one unbroken walk, in the same UltraHD as the new precinct imagery.
Listings with rich imagery pull more direction requests and more website clicks than bare listings. A full interior walkthrough is the richest imagery there is.
People walk in already knowing your layout, your range, your feel. No surprises. The tour does the reassuring so your team can do the selling.
Your doors close at 5. Your walkthrough doesn't. Browsers at 9pm on the couch become walk-ins at 10am Saturday.
The same tour embeds on your own website, your socials, your Google Business Profile. One shoot, everywhere your customers look.
