Footfall is dropping every quarter
Younger competitors are showing up on Google when customers search "kirana near me". You are losing walk-ins to shops that look more visible online.

Common challenges for kirana and general stores
Customers ask "Do you have X?" on WhatsApp
You get 50+ WhatsApp queries a day asking about stock, delivery, or prices. Answering them eats into your real work.
Almost no Google reviews
Your shop has 2 or 3 reviews from years ago. Every nearby kirana with 25+ reviews ranks above you in Map Pack. Asking customers to leave reviews face-to-face is awkward.
No time to "do marketing"
You open at 7 AM, you close at 10 PM. Posting on Instagram or running Google ads is the last thing on your list.

VANI · GROWTH PLAN
Vani talks to your customers on WhatsApp
Vani picks up every customer WhatsApp message — in Hindi or English — and answers: 'Maggi kis size mein hai?', 'Aaj delivery free hai kya?', 'Kya woh shampoo available hai?' She quotes prices from your menu, takes the order, and pings you only when you actually need to be involved. You stay on the shop floor; the WhatsApp side runs itself.

FAQ — Vayapar AI for kirana and general stores
I run a small kirana — is Vayapar AI overkill?+
No — it is built exactly for small kiranas. Start free on the Seed plan (Saarthi runs your GBP, captures reviews, drafts Google posts) and add the Physical Standee Kit for ₹250 one-time. That is the simplest possible setup: a printed QR on your counter, and a dashboard to see your reviews grow. No tech background needed. Spark, Growth, and Pro include the standee free.
Will Vani understand Hindi customer messages?+
Yes. Vani speaks Hindi, English, and Hinglish (mix). She handles common kirana queries like "kya hai stock me", "kitna ka", "delivery hai kya" naturally. Vani is on the Growth plan (₹999/month).
Do I need a Google Business Profile already?+
No. Saarthi (free on Seed) walks you through creating and verifying one. Most kirana stores actually have an auto-created GBP they have never claimed — Saarthi will find it and verify it for you.
I do not have a WhatsApp Business number — can I still use Vayapar AI?+
Yes for Seed and Spark — you do not need WhatsApp Business API for those plans. For Growth and Pro (where Vani lives), we help you set up a WhatsApp Business API account during onboarding. You keep your existing personal WhatsApp.
How fast will I see results?+
New Google reviews typically show within 1–2 weeks of installing the standee on your counter. Map Pack rank improvement usually shows within 4–8 weeks of Saarthi running on your GBP. WhatsApp order volume with Vani depends on your customer base size — typically +30–60% in the first 60 days.
Is this an alternative to the Vyapar billing app?+
No — completely different. Vyapar is for GST billing and inventory. Vayapar AI is for marketing, Google reviews, and WhatsApp customer conversations. Many kiranas use both together: Vyapar for the cash counter, Vayapar AI for the customer-facing side.
