No. Choose Check a Restaurant Website on Overview and enter a known public website. That path makes no Google Places requests, even with a key entered. Add owner-provided details to your client profile; they do not replace verified Google data in the automated score.

Yes. Use Change how you work. Your research choice stays in this browser after refresh, but keys do not. Google Places, mobile diagnostics and OpenAI are separate choices. Switching paths does not enable AI or mobile diagnostics.

Current Analysis has a sales checklist and a copy-and-paste prompt for your own AI service. Review the prompt before sharing. Notes are excluded unless you choose to include them. Raw Google business fields and saved contacts are excluded.

The hosted server fetches the public website. Google Places is not used. PageSpeed runs only if you select mobile diagnostics. OpenAI runs only when you choose connected guidance and click Generate. This is not an offline app.

No. Both paths use the same owner reports, intake, menus, manual reviews, FAQs and backups. Available evidence can differ. Missing Google or mobile data remains unavailable, never invented.

No. Choose Check a Restaurant Website on Overview and enter a known public website. This path makes no Google Places requests, even if a key is entered. Add owner-provided business details to your saved client; they do not replace verified Google data in the automated score.

Yes. Use Change how you work. Your research choice stays in this browser after refresh, but keys do not. Google Places, PageSpeed and OpenAI are separate choices. Switching research paths does not automatically enable AI or mobile diagnostics.

Current Analysis includes a sales preparation checklist and an optional copy-and-paste prompt. Review the prompt before sharing it with an outside AI service. Analysis notes are excluded unless you select Include my analysis notes. Raw Google business fields and saved contact records are excluded.

The hosted server fetches the public website. Google Places is not used on that path. PageSpeed is requested only if you select optional mobile diagnostics. OpenAI is requested only when you choose connected guidance and click Generate. This is not an offline app.

No. Both use the same owner report, intake, menus, manual reviews, FAQs and backups. Available evidence can differ. Missing Google or mobile data is shown as unavailable, not fabricated.

Select a saved client in Client Tools. Use the Roadmap to move from discovery and analysis to owner presentation, intake, menu preparation and validation. Progress checkboxes are your own tracking; they do not perform work automatically.

Enter the owner-provided project details to generate a build brief, an asset request and a project checklist. Copy, download, or print any document with your agency and client header. Requests are drafts; the app never sends them.

No. The meter counts completed fields. You still need to confirm asset receipt, permissions, agreed scope, price, account access and final approval with the owner. Ask for delegated access instead of passwords.

Paste plain text from an owner-provided menu. Format menu identifies likely categories, items and prices. Edit every field as needed and export CSV or a printable menu. It does not directly read photos or PDFs, and parsing can make mistakes.

Yes. Original text and edited items save separately for each client. Switching clients loads their saved work. Formatting again replaces existing edits only after confirmation. Up to 500 items are supported per client.

The optional copy-and-paste workflow creates a prompt for a service you choose. Copying alone makes no external request; pasting into that service shares the included menu facts with it. Preview the reply before applying. Verify ingredients, preparation methods, dietary suitability and prices with the owner.

No. They are consultant observations with status, evidence, suggested next steps and a review date. Print them separately or explicitly include them in the owner snapshot after checking the report recipient. Never claim proven revenue loss from an unverified observation.

Settings → Agency & saved clients → Agency report logo. Choose PNG, JPEG or WebP up to 500 KB and 4096 pixels per side, then Save agency profile. Your logo appears on report and document headers. The app keeps its own Restaurant Agency Studio favicon.

Enter owner-confirmed public facts. Fix all validation messages and check the verification box to export. Add Restaurant JSON-LD through the website code settings and publish matching visible information. FAQ markup must match visible FAQ copy. Validate the final page using Schema Markup Validator and Google Rich Results Test; no search appearance is promised.

No promise is possible. Google says special AI files or schema are not needed for its AI search features. llms.txt is an optional informational file, not a ranking guarantee. Focus on accurate public information, a useful website and measurable maintenance work.

Client Tools automatically saves user-entered intake, menu edits, manual reviews and roadmap progress in local browser storage. Agency and contact forms use Save. These records are not encrypted or automatically sent to AI. Live analysis uses the server and selected providers. An external AI copy-and-paste step follows that provider’s policies.

Download client backup in Client Tools. Store it privately: it contains client information. Restore it in Settings to add a separate copy without overwriting another client. API keys, live Google results and automated analyses are excluded. Agency details and logo must be saved separately.

The app reports that changes were not saved. Download the current work before leaving the client, free storage or remove unneeded records, then retry. Clearing all site data removes contacts, client work, logos and preferences.

This is a hosted app that needs an internet connection to load and to run discovery and analysis. Client Tools performs its editing and generation in the browser without API calls. It is not an installed offline app.

Start or replay the walkthrough from the Dashboard or Help Center. Use the sun/moon button in the header for light or dark mode. Theme and walkthrough preferences save locally. Printed documents use a light background.

It helps a consultant find restaurant prospects, evaluate the combination of business strength and website opportunity, and prepare a relevant Restaurant Agency Studio demo. It does not build websites or acquire clients for you.

It is a private credential that lets this app request a service from your provider account. Think of it as a service access pass with billing attached. It is not your Google or OpenAI account password.

Your provider account controls access, usage and billing. You can monitor activity, restrict access and revoke a key yourself. API usage is paid directly to the provider; it is not included with this app.

Yes. Open Check a Website, enter a public restaurant website URL, choose its category, and analyze it. You get website findings and deterministic recommendations; Google business information will be unavailable. PageSpeed may work without a key when Google allows the request.

Google Places is required only for discovering and resolving real businesses through Google. PageSpeed and OpenAI keys are optional. Start with website checks, add Google for prospect discovery, then add AI only if you want additional sales guidance.

No. You configure provider accounts and paste keys into Settings. Restaurant Agency Studio is a separate website-building product; it does not need to be installed to run this analysis.

No. Optional OpenAI API access uses a separate API account and billing arrangement. A ChatGPT subscription is not a substitute for an API key.

It supplies real business identities and current profile signals such as address, rating, review count and website. That adds business context to the opportunity score. Without it, you can still examine a website, but cannot verify business strength through this app.

It adds a mobile Lighthouse diagnostic snapshot for performance, accessibility, best practices and SEO. A key can help with access and automated usage; it does not guarantee unlimited quota or successful tests.

After the rule-based report is ready, it can generate a strategic summary, sales opportunities, demo plan, conversation starter, discovery questions, likely objections, project scope and next action. It does not determine your score.

You pay Google and OpenAI directly under your account terms. Pricing, credits and allowances can change. Check provider pricing before use; the app does not display a live bill or guarantee a free allowance.

Find Prospects, Load More, Google connection testing and selected business resolution/details make Google requests. Analyze requests PageSpeed only when optional mobile diagnostics is enabled and a website exists. Generate and Regenerate Sales Intelligence request OpenAI generation. Searching never automatically audits every result or generates AI.

Use a dedicated project, review current pricing, set provider usage controls and alerts, start with one search and one analysis, and check usage before scaling. Repeated analyses and AI regeneration make new requests. Alerts alone should not be treated as an automatic spending stop.

The visible rating, review count, website and price fields can raise the Google Text Search billing tier. The app requests selected fields, not every field, but a smaller response does not necessarily mean the lowest-priced tier.

A Google key may be usable for both if its project enables both APIs and its restrictions allow both. Separate keys make troubleshooting and revocation clearer. Enter it in each applicable field; the app does not silently reuse the Places key for PageSpeed.

This app calls Google from its server, not directly from the browser. Website/referrer restrictions are not appropriate for that route. Restrict the key to the needed APIs and use the server’s actual outbound IP if the host provides a stable one. Do not guess the IP or enter 127.0.0.1 for hosted requests.

No. It checks the tested provider operation at that moment. Quotas, permissions and models can differ for later requests. The OpenAI test checks model access; it does not generate a report or guarantee generation quota.

You enter them in Settings. They stay in active browser memory and pass transiently through this app’s server to the matching provider. They are not put in a URL, saved in a database, or sent to the AI as prompt text.

No. API keys clear on refresh or close. Navigation inside the app preserves them for the active session. Saved agency/client contact records are separate and never include API keys.

No software can promise that. The app limits credential storage and request destinations, but a compromised device, malicious browser extension or improperly configured hosting can still expose data. Use a trusted device and a trusted HTTPS deployment.

The 127.0.0.1 preview is served on your own computer. A public deployment accepting API keys should use HTTPS. Do not enter keys into an unfamiliar public HTTP site or a copied link you do not trust.

The implemented requests are for Places, PageSpeed and optional OpenAI analysis. The app has no Gmail/Drive connector or payment-card form. Restrict your keys to the required services rather than assuming every credential is narrowly scoped by default.

Only when you generate intelligence: restaurant category, derived score/confidence, structured non-Google findings and your current analysis notes. The app excludes raw Google business fields, raw HTML and the saved agency/client address book. Do not put private or unnecessary personal information in analysis notes.

OpenAI states that API data is not used for model training by default unless you opt in. This app requests store:false, but that is not a promise of zero provider retention: abuse-monitoring and account-specific policies can still apply. Review the linked OpenAI data controls before sending sensitive content.

Revoke it in the provider console, review usage and billing, create a replacement with appropriate restrictions, and replace it in Settings. Clearing the app’s input does not revoke the provider credential. Never send a full key in screenshots, notes, email or support messages.

It keeps live Google business content only in the current session and does not sell it. Saved contacts must be independently supplied by you. Google content is not automatically copied into the address book or client export.

Avoid saving client contact details on a shared device. They use browser local storage and are not encrypted by this app. Clear session keys when finished, delete saved contacts when appropriate, and remember that downloaded PDFs remain on the device.

The audit blocks local/private/reserved network targets, checks DNS, pins approved addresses, rechecks redirects, limits time and download size, and never executes downloaded code. These controls help prevent arbitrary website URLs from reaching private network services.

The earlier autocomplete filtered suggestions to match its prefilled text. The category control now shows the complete predefined list every time. Choose Other / custom category for a category that is not listed.

Use the closest operating category, not simply the restaurant’s name. The category guides search and influences which conversion paths matter: ordering for pizza, booking for full service, or inquiry for catering. Confirm it before analyzing.

Google may return fewer matches. Minimum-review filtering is applied to each returned page, so some or all results can be filtered out. Broaden filters or use Load More if a token is available.

No. Search is discovery only. You select one restaurant and start analysis before the app retrieves richer details, inspects its website or requests PageSpeed. This keeps you in control of time and usage.

Similar names can refer to different locations or businesses. Selecting the correct result avoids analyzing the wrong prospect. A supplied URL can still be analyzed if Google lookup fails.

A missing website in completed Google details is a strong opportunity signal, not a perfect score. Website-dependent checks remain unknown or not applicable. Confirm whether the restaurant actually has a site elsewhere before pitching.

The primary page’s HTML and robots.txt, sitemap.xml and llms.txt. It detects relevant paths and markup without executing JavaScript, browsing every linked page, submitting forms, placing orders or booking tables.

The feature may be on another page, rendered with JavaScript, hidden behind a widget or blocked from automated requests. Treat the finding as a page-level observation. Manually verify it and record your context in User Notes.

Blocked pages, sparse JavaScript-dependent HTML, timeouts or unavailable provider fields cannot be verified. Unknown is not a failure and reduces confidence. Do not describe unknown checks as missing features to a client.

Use the restaurant’s public HTTP(S) website. Private/local addresses, credentials in URLs, query strings and nonstandard ports are rejected. Social-only profiles may block inspection or provide little restaurant website evidence.

It indicates a potentially attractive consulting opportunity based on business strength, website need, revenue-path opportunities and demo fit. It is not a restaurant rating, purchase-intent prediction or guarantee of a client.

Business Value: 25. Website Need: 35. Revenue Opportunities: 25. Sales / Demo Fit: 15. Expand the category evidence to see earned points, verified weight and coverage. AI does not calculate these values.

Treat it as provisional. Unknowns reduce coverage; low-coverage categories are not extrapolated. Website-only totals exclude unavailable business categories from the score denominator, so do not compare them blindly with complete prospect analyses.

Table booking is not treated as a primary requirement for cafes. Relevance changes with restaurant type. Confirm the operating model before drawing conclusions; the classification is an aid, not perfect business knowledge.

No. Missing revenue paths are potential opportunities to validate. Ask the restaurant whether it offers or wants the service before proposing functionality or claiming lost business.

AI is instructed to use supplied findings and its evidence citations are checked against them, but generated interpretation can still be wrong. Review every claim. The app does not supply traffic, conversion or sales figures, so it cannot substantiate lost-revenue claims.

The scoring rules are deterministic for identical input, but websites, Google data, PageSpeed results and data availability can change. Compare the evidence and coverage, not just the total.

No. These are possible content and technical foundations, not guarantees of rankings, AI citations or traffic. Explain their limited role rather than promising search outcomes.

Confirm business identity and operating status, manually check the highest-impact website findings, validate any suggested service, and choose a relevant demo. Use respectful language and distinguish verified observations from questions or recommendations.

No. It prepares findings and a conversation starter. You handle outreach and any applicable requirements. Restaurant Agency Studio handles the separate demo/build/delivery workflow.

Your uploaded agency logo, business name, contact person, email, phone, website and address can prefill the report’s Prepared by section. That makes printed snapshots and copied summaries more useful to send or discuss with clients.

Yes. Settings → Agency & saved clients supports multiple user-entered contact records (up to 250). Add, edit or delete records, then choose the report recipient from the report dropdown. Confirm that recipient before sharing.

No. They stay in local storage for this browser and app address. Another device, browser, private browsing session or changed URL/port has separate storage. There is no account system or automatic sync.

Automated analyses, analysis notes, API keys and Sales Intelligence remain transient. Client Tools separately saves your independently entered intake, edited menus, manual reviews and project progress in this browser. Re-run analysis for fresh automated findings.

Saved contacts can be lost. Keep your main client address book or CRM as your backup. Download each client backup in Client Tools. Restore a backup from Settings when needed. The app has no cloud recovery.

No. Agency/client fields are used for report presentation and copy/print. Analysis notes are a separate field that is sent when you explicitly generate AI intelligence.

Selected user-entered agency/client details, website observations, supporting evidence and mobile metrics. You can explicitly include saved consultant observations for the selected client. It excludes internal lead priority, raw Google business data, private analysis notes and AI sales text.

Select the correct client, inspect the Client-Friendly Snapshot, then choose Print Snapshot and your browser’s Save as PDF destination. Copy Summary copies a client-safe text version. You decide how to share it; the app does not send it.

Choose No client selected to omit recipient details. Clear your agency profile in Settings if you want it omitted. Those actions do not change the underlying opportunity score.

Discovery results are not necessarily clients, and Google has restrictions on storing and redistributing its content. The contact list deliberately uses your independently collected information and does not become a stored Google lead database.

Check that you selected the right Google project, enabled Places API (New), configured billing, copied the complete key, and applied server-compatible restrictions. Allow configuration changes time to propagate. Test again without repeatedly clicking.

No. Other findings and scores still work. Verify the URL, try later, check API access/quota, or add an optional PageSpeed key. The app does not convert missing performance metrics into a zero.

Check your API project’s billing/usage, available model and key permissions. A working ChatGPT subscription does not resolve API billing issues. The base report stays intact when AI fails.

The result did not meet the expected schema or cite supplied evidence correctly. Retry explicitly or use another supported model in Advanced Settings. Do not keep regenerating indefinitely; each generation may cost money.

The app or provider may be limiting rapid or concurrent requests. Wait, avoid duplicate clicks and check provider quotas. Repeated clicking does not bypass the limits.

Check email formatting and field lengths, and whether browser storage is blocked or full. Private mode may discard stored records. The app reports a save failure rather than claiming your contacts were saved.

Describe the screen, steps, approximate time and sanitized error text. Include a public website URL only if appropriate. Remove full keys, authorization headers, billing details and private client information from screenshots or messages.
