## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability local-business-growth-snapshot-2893d8db -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you generate a local business growth snapshot for my taco restaurant 'Los Reyes Tacos' in Austin, TX? Our goal is more lunch calls and catering leads — we have no website yet and our Google profile has thin reviews, no recent photos, and stale hours.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a structured, actionable local SEO and Google Business improvement plan generated from user-supplied observations rather than a live crawl. Ideal for consultants, agency workflows, or AI agents helping small business owners get quick prioritized fixes without requiring API access to Google Business. Not suitable when real-time data fetching or live profile auditing is required.

## Known failure modes

- 402 Payment Required — request lacks valid x402 payment header; agent must attach USDC payment before retrying
- Missing required fields result in a degraded or assumption-heavy snapshot
- No live crawl is performed so inaccurate input data produces inaccurate recommendations
- Truncated or vague google_profile_notes reduce the specificity of priority fixes

## How this service works

Generate a structured local-business growth snapshot from supplied Google Business / website observations. Protected by x402; unauthenticated requests return 402 Payment Required.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the business details, a list of 3-5 priority fixes each with issue, fix, and why-it-matters fields, a day-by-day 7-day action plan, a ready-to-send owner outreach message, and a set of assumptions about the analysis. Also includes a generated_at timestamp and detected business vertical.
