FAQ

Everything, in one place.

Organized by service. If something's missing, it's probably faster to just ask directly.

General

What's the actual difference between a Matterport tour and a video?

A video is like watching TV: you see what the camera points at. A Matterport tour is like being in the room yourself. You look around, walk from room to room, and measure distances, all at your own pace.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Zero travel cost anywhere in India, Tier-1 city or otherwise. If the job's abroad, that's discussed upfront, case by case.

How much does it cost?

₹1,50,000 per capture day for Matterport — 500+ scan positions, capture, editing, delivery and travel included. Hosting billed separately. Nonprofits: ₹30,000 per day.

How is Adostrophe different from other providers?

That comparison is yours to make, and there's a whole guide on this site for making it — eight questions to ask any provider, this one included. What's on offer here, specifically: the same person behind the camera since 2017, no subcontracting; prices published on the page, not after a call; edits free for the life of the tour while it's hosted here; rescans free; a capture record audited under Matterport's own programs; and case studies that end with ways to check them without asking. What anyone else offers is their business.

Is Matterport hosting included in the scan price?

No — and this matters. A finished tour lives on a Matterport subscription that renews; if it lapses, Matterport takes the tour offline. Three options: managed by us and billed annually (recommended), managed monthly, or hosted on your own Matterport account. Every quote spells out which one you've chosen.

How long does it take to receive the finished tour?

Usually 2–3 weeks from the day of the scan, depending on size and how many locations are involved.

Do I need to be present during the scan?

Not necessarily, though it helps for larger or unusual spaces, like a factory floor or a temple mid-renovation, where someone on-site can answer questions as they come up.

Is Adostrophe an "authorized" or "official" Matterport partner?

Matterport doesn't run an authorized-partner program in India, and no public directory of certified providers exists to check a claim like that against. A few providers even put "Matterport" directly into their own domain name, which can look like an official affiliation; it isn't licensed by Matterport either. Judge the actual work instead.

Matterport scanning

What hardware is used?

A Matterport Pro2 currently.

Does this cover cities outside Bengaluru?

Yes, anywhere in India, zero travel cost. International work is discussed case by case.

How long does the capture itself take?

A single showroom or apartment is usually a few hours. Larger spaces, like a hotel, a school, or a manufacturing plant, can take several days.

Google Street View

How is this different from a full Matterport scan?

Street View is a set of individual 360° photos on Google Maps: faster and cheaper, but you look around from fixed points rather than walk between them.

Will these show up on Google Maps for my business?

Yes. The images are published directly to your Google Business Profile.

Web development & SEO

Why static HTML instead of WordPress?

Speed and control: no database to slow it down or get compromised, nothing to patch every time a plugin has a vulnerability.

Can you fix an existing site instead of rebuilding it?

Sometimes. It depends what's actually causing the problem.

Google Ads

Is there a minimum ad spend?

No fixed number published here. Worth a conversation about the account first.

Do you work with small or local businesses?

Yes, alongside larger accounts. The same structural discipline applies either way.

Nonprofits & Ad Grants

What is the Google Ad Grant?

A program where Google gives eligible nonprofits up to $10,000 a month in search advertising credit.

Why do nonprofits lose their Ad Grant?

Usually compliance drift: click-through-rate and site-speed rules that need someone actively watching the account.

Do you do pro bono work?

Yes, selectively. The Suicide Prevention India Foundation and QPR India have both been supported pro bono.
