Use cases ​
WP Google Street View is easier to understand when you look at the businesses that benefit most from it.
The plugin is not only a technical map embedder. It is a practical publishing tool for websites that represent a real place, a venue, a campus, a storefront, or a location-driven service.
What all use cases have in common ​
The businesses below usually share one need: before a user arrives, books, or calls, they want that user to understand the place.
That can mean:
- seeing the exterior of the building;
- understanding where the entrance is;
- checking parking or neighborhood context;
- previewing the type of place and its surroundings;
- increasing trust before the physical visit.
That is exactly where Google Street View, Google Maps, markers, styles, and local-business schema become useful.
