## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability spyfu--9ac06423
```

Example prompt: What are the PPC keyword stats for 'project management software' — I want to see the cost per click, monthly search volume, and who the top advertisers bidding on that keyword are right now.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need detailed PPC-specific metrics like CPC, advertiser lists, ad copy history, and paid search competition data. Prefer this over SEO keyword endpoints when the user's goal is building or optimizing a paid search (Google Ads / Bing Ads) campaign, benchmarking ad spend, or identifying competitor ad strategies. Best for digital marketers, PPC managers, and growth analysts.
