They trust us
The tour where your customers already are.
A virtual tour nobody can find is useless. We share yours on every channel that matters: your website, where it plays without an app; your Google Business Profile, where people look for you; your listings, your emails and your social media, through a link or a video. You install the code with us or with your webmaster.
01
On your website, no development needed
An embed code (iframe) to paste into WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify or any other page. The tour plays within the page, in French.
02
On your Google Business Profile
For a business or an institution, the tour is published on Google Maps and Street View: your customers step inside from Google Search.
03
In your listings and your emails
A link for Centris, your signature and your newsletters, with a clickable image that opens the tour.
04
On your social media
A link with a preview, a short video taken from the tour or 360 photos: Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn open the tour in the browser.
A real tour to explore
Time Out Market Montreal, embedded here.
The Eaton Centre food hall, as it appears in a web page: the tour loads on click, within the page, without leaving the site. This is the code we hand you for yours.
One channel, one way to share.

The iframe code, one or more tours per page, each opening on the room of your choice, in French.

Good to know: social media and Centris get a link, not the code
Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and real estate portals don’t display the 3D tour itself: they get a link or a short video, and the tour opens in the browser. Videos generated automatically from a guided tour are in beta at Matterport, with no guarantee. Publication on Google Maps is reserved for non-residential locations, under Google’s terms; the 3D dollhouse view and the tags don’t appear there, and the navigation arrows appear after 7 to 10 days, according to Matterport.
Embedding a virtual tour on your website
The embed code is the first deliverable of any Matterport 3D virtual tour. It is an iframe code: a few lines to paste into a page, and the tour appears in a window, with no development. It works in WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify and any system that accepts a code block. We set it up before handing it over: interface in French, play on click or automatically, chosen starting point. According to Matterport, several tours can sit together on a single page. No webmaster? We install the code together, over screen sharing.
On your Google Business Profile: the Google virtual tour
For a business, a hotel or an institution, the tour’s panoramas are published on Google Maps and Street View, from the same scan: that is the Google virtual tour, for $100 more. Your customers step inside from Google Search, before even opening your website. Two caveats: publication is reserved for non-residential locations, under Google’s terms, and Street View displays neither the 3D dollhouse view nor the tags.
On Centris, in your emails and your newsletters
Real estate portals and emails don’t read an embed code: they get a link. Your broker adds it to the Centris listing; if the system requires a version without branding, Matterport provides one. In a newsletter, a clickable image opens the tour. In a case study published by Matterport, a broker, a Matterport customer and not a Panosphere one, saw clicks double in emails containing a tour.
On Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn
Same logic: social networks don’t display the 3D tour itself. You post the link, with its preview, a short video taken from the tour or 360 photos captured on site. Videos generated automatically from a guided tour are in beta at Matterport; we offer them as such, with no guarantee. For edited clips, see real estate video.
Print, booths and trade shows
A QR code on the sign, the brochure or the storefront opens the tour on a passerby’s phone. At a booth or a trade show, a setting in the address launches the guided tour on its own, in a loop, without anyone having to touch the screen.
The right link for each use
A deep link opens the tour directly on a room, a product or a hall, at the angle you choose: the showroom for the product page, the primary bedroom for the listing, the meeting room for the rental offer. With custom branding, the tour also displays your logo, your menu and, if needed, French and English at a single address.
What about search rankings?
An embedded tour holds visitors’ attention: in a case study published by Matterport, time on page for a broker, a Matterport customer, went from 45 seconds to more than 2 minutes. According to Matterport, every public tour also has an indexed page in its Discover gallery. We make no promise of any ranking in Google; we make the tour easy to find, open and share, then we measure what it brings in.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our answers.
Another question? Write to marc@panosphere360.com or call 514 262-9248.
How do I embed a virtual tour on my website?
With the embed code (iframe) we give you: pasted into a page in WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify or any other system, it displays the tour within the page. We do it with you or your webmaster.
What is the Matterport iframe code?
A few lines of code that display the tour in a window on your page, without the visitor leaving your site. We set it up for you: language, play on click or automatically, starting point.
Can several tours be placed on the same page?
Yes, according to Matterport: several tours, or the same tour opened on different rooms, can sit together on one page. Each unit or branch gets its own window.
Can a virtual tour be posted on Facebook or Instagram?
Through a link, which shows a preview and opens the tour in the browser, or through a short video taken from the tour. Social networks don’t display the embed code.
Can the tour be added to a Centris listing?
Yes, through the tour link, which your broker adds to the listing. If the system requires a version without branding, Matterport provides one, with no business card or button.
Can the tour appear on my Google Business Profile?
Yes, for a business or an institution: the panoramas are published on Google Maps and Street View ($100 more). Residences are excluded under Google’s terms.
Can I link to a specific room?
Yes. A deep link opens the tour directly at a given position and angle: the showroom, the primary bedroom, the meeting room.
Does the tour help my search ranking?
It keeps visitors on your page longer: in a case study published by Matterport, a broker’s time on page went from 45 seconds to more than 2 minutes. We make no promise of any ranking in Google.
