- Places API (New): competitor scans find local rivals on Google Maps and the
server reads real ratings/review counts by place id; client's own listing
fills the "You" row; recent reviews for praise/complaint themes; 30-day cache
- Google Trends via DataForSEO: rising/top related searches and % change per
keyword in the client's region; used by trend-scan and to check gap demand
- Instagram Hashtag Search: top/recent posts under a niche hashtag (tool +
Competitors page panel), counts Instagram's 30 tags/week limit
- Server settings → Research: keys plus on/off switches for each source
(hashtag search off until Meta approves Public Content Access)
- Reports mark website-sourced ratings as unverified; skill takes handles
only from a business's own site
