This is very helpful thanks!
It might be a bit too wordy. My experience is that people will avoid reading anything. But I will try to get your sentiments across in a video. People like videos :)
Regarding wordiness - that's why you put it below the fold. People who prefer reading know to scroll down to get the textual version instead of having to watch a video.
And that's not saying you have to do pure text without graphics.
1) help visitors or deliveries get from an easily-mapped location (the front gate) to their final destination (your door)
2) simply film a video walking or driving the path, and let us adjust its speed into an easily-reviewed guide
3) provide a single, short url with the map, video, and a button to notify you they've arrived
4) perfect for business plazas, college campuses, parks and tourist sites, and unaddressed areas
Take a look at how https://plus.codes pitches itself, since there are plenty of similarities.
