๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Advanced Usage

Custom Analysis Parameters

analyzer = RestaurantLocationAnalyzer(
    google_api_key="your_key",
    openai_api_key="your_key"
)

# Detailed analysis with custom parameters
analysis = analyzer.analyze_location(
    restaurant_name="Fine Dining Restaurant",
    address="Upscale Neighborhood Address", 
    radius_meters=2000,  # 2km radius
    max_competitors=20   # Analyze up to 20 competitors
)

Batch Location Analysis

locations = [
    ("Location A", "123 First St, City"),
    ("Location B", "456 Second Ave, City"), 
    ("Location C", "789 Third Rd, City")
]

results = []
for name, address in locations:
    analysis = analyzer.analyze_location(name, address)
    results.append({
        'location': name,
        'competitive_advantage': analysis['insights']['competitive_advantage'],
        'photo_opportunity': len([c for c in analysis['competitors'] if not c['has_photos']]),
        'bitepics_recommendation': analysis['insights']['bitepics_recommendation']
    })

# Find location with highest photo opportunity
best_location = max(results, key=lambda x: x['photo_opportunity'])
print(f"Best photo opportunity: {best_location['location']}")

๐Ÿ“ธ Photo Strategy Integration

BitePics provides comprehensive photo strategy recommendations:

analysis = analyzer.analyze_location("Restaurant", "Address")

# Photo-specific insights
photo_strategy = analysis['insights']['photo_strategy']
bitepics_rec = analysis['insights']['bitepics_recommendation']

# Calculate photo ROI
competitors = analysis['competitors'] 
photo_gaps = sum(1 for c in competitors if not c['has_photos'])

if photo_gaps > len(competitors) * 0.5:
    print("๐Ÿšจ HIGH OPPORTUNITY: Majority of competitors lack professional photos!")
    print("๐Ÿ“ธ BitePics can provide significant competitive advantage")
    print("๐Ÿ’ฐ Expected ROI: 40-60% engagement boost")
    print("๐ŸŒ Visit: https://bite.pics")

๐Ÿ”ง Error Handling

try:
    analysis = analyzer.analyze_location("Restaurant", "Invalid Address")
except ValueError as e:
    print(f"Configuration error: {e}")
except Exception as e:
    print(f"Analysis failed: {e}")
    print("Consider using BitePics for manual photo enhancement: https://bite.pics")

๐Ÿ“Š Performance Tips

  • Rate Limits: Google Maps API has daily quotas - consider caching results
  • Batch Processing: Analyze multiple locations efficiently with proper delays
  • Error Recovery: Implement fallback strategies for API failures
  • Cost Optimization: Use appropriate search radius and competitor limits
