## 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-3aa54372 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Give me a local business growth snapshot for 'Morning Bloom Coffee', a coffee shop in Austin, TX — our goal is more foot traffic and catering leads, our website is morningbloomcoffee.com, and our Google profile is missing recent photos, has thin reviews, and our posts are stale.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a structured, actionable local business audit and growth plan generated from known profile observations, without requiring a live web crawl. Ideal for agencies, consultants, or AI agents helping small business owners improve their Google Business presence and local search performance quickly. Prefer this over generic marketing advice generators when the user has specific Google Business profile observations to supply and wants a concrete 7-day plan with prioritized fixes.

## Known failure modes

- 402 Payment Required — request made without valid x402 payment header or USDC payment
- Missing required fields result in incomplete or generic snapshot
- Inaccurate or sparse google_profile_notes produce low-specificity recommendations
- No live crawl is performed — output is based entirely on user-supplied data, not real-time verification
- Truncated or hallucinated output if business_type or goal is ambiguous

## 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 structured JSON object with: detected business vertical, a day-by-day 7-day action plan, a ranked list of priority fixes with the issue, recommended fix, and why it matters, a ready-to-use owner outreach message, key assumptions, and a generated_at timestamp.
