You could charge for heavy use. At that many users and only $50/day you might be able to cover costs with premium users.

Alternatively you could try swapping out an open source model like llama on the back end (possible licensing issues here).

Another option would be to seek out ads for local companies directly since it is an explicitly local product. Cold calling would probably be the best place to start. You could also pay attention to who is paying for billboards in your area and try contacting them.

To add to that, OP should really be tracking usage a bit to see if there are abusers taking up a large amount of queries
Good shout, thank you
