Hola, soy Rafael de Mexico y quisiera me indiquen si puedo descargar la insignia de fotógrafo de confianza de GSV, entiendo que está detenido el programa, pero al ofrecer mis servicios a mis clientes no tengo el alta en el padrón, aunque se que cumplo con las más de 50 fotografías autorizadas. Hay algún texto aprobado para poder incrustar en mi página de internet? Será `posible que me apoyen? Agradezco su atención.

Hola @Suigenerix
Aquí en Connect ya no se da soporte a temas de Street View, te recomiendo leer el siguiente post Questions about Street View? en el que encontrarás lo último sobre este tema, así mismo incluye algunos enlaces del centro de ayuda de Maps,ahí te pueden dar apoyo con lo que buscas.
Saludos

Hi @Suigenerix
Since you don’t have the Streetview badge you will not have access to the help center mentioned above.
The good news is that you don’t need the badge to build your streetview business. Being on the list is no longer generating leads by email, so you need to market your services like any other businesses by showing examples of your previous work, go visit potential customers, and maybe buy some advertising. And you may need to offer some free samples to get the ball rolling.
And no, there is no approved text available to pretend being in the trusted program. But you can always get inspired by how other 360 photographers market themselves.
Best of luck
Morten

Hi @Suigenerix
I see you have received some helpful answer already, however I would like to clarify some point to avoid to put your account at risk:
In the post shared by @LaloPadilla it is indicate that “As of July 19, 2021, new enrollments into the Street View trusted program are put on hold. At this time, we do not award the trusted badge to new contributors who’ve reached the minimum number of photos for membership, and do not list new professionals on the for-hire index”. We don’t know if this is a permanent or a temporary decision, but as Google said that "new enrollments into the Street View trusted program are put on hold" I think it is temporary. It means that at the moment you cannot be in the list of Trusted photographer. Actually Street View stopped to send leads on the SVTPs email, @MortenCopenhagen , but of course to be in the list can be helpful to be found.
However, as you want to do this as a business, I want to ask you to be careful.
According to the Local Guides Program Terms and Conditions : “Organizations, brands, and businesses are not eligible for the Program. If you offer services for hire (such as marketing yourself as a Street View trusted provider), you are not allowed to bundle such services with your Local Guide membership”. To avoid to put your account at risk, you should use a different account for your Street View professional activity. for more details please read How to be a Street View trusted photographer while also being a Local Guide
