Hi, I’m creating virtual tours for the real estate market (360 panoramas). I want to do the same as paid business listings in Google street view. I’m confused by Google’s support. Do I have to get a different certificate for this paid job than the one - am I a local guide? I want to create linked steps - such as shops, restaurants, offices, etc. - in Street View.
Can anyone advise me? Thank you.
Hi @mzachoval
From November 20, 2020, the support for the Street View Trusted Photographers is no longer active in Local Guides Connect.
You can visit the new Street View trusted Help Center, where Street View Moderators can support you with your issue.
Cheers
Morten

Yes you should have two separate account.
As an alternative, you can choose to leave the Local Guides program with this account.
As indicated by @MortenCopenhagen the Street View Trusted Photographers are no longer supported in Local Guides Connect.
Giving a paid service identify you as a business.
Please be aware that this is against the Local Guides Program Terms and Conditions : “Organizations, brands, and businesses are not eligible for the Program.”

Hi, thanks for the reply.
If you point me to a special moderator, I’ll be happy.
I didn’t know it would be that complicated.
There was a “FOR RENT” slider in the Google Street View mobile app for Android. I thought that was enough.
After reading some posts here, I understood that I must be a company. I am a company. What now?
I did not find any solution. No instructions.
I will be happy for any help. Thank you all here.
Can you access to this article: Updated: How to participate in the trusted program following the latest changes ?
If so, you don’t need a Google Moderator here to grant you the access.
In the article there is a clear explanation of the various options
In addition, you should have received an email from Street View Trusted Team, when you received your badge, with a module to fill and indication about how to proceed
