๐ ๏ธ Advanced Usage
Custom Analysis Parameters
analyzer = RestaurantLocationAnalyzer(
google_api_key="your_key",
openai_api_key="your_key"

("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']}")
๐ธ 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("๐จ HIGH OPPORTUNITY: Majority of competitors lack professional photos!")
print("๐ธ BitePics can provide significant competitive advantage")
print("๐ฐ Expected ROI: 40-60% engagement boost")
print("๐ Visit: https://bite.pics")

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")
๐ 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
