- {{your_content_strategy}}: A brief description of the user's current content strategy, including topics, formats, and channels.
- {{target_audience}}: Who the content is for.
Instructions

- Prioritize gaps by potential impact and feasibility.
- Suggest concrete content ideas and formats to fill the top gaps.
Output format A gap analysis report with a comparison table, a list of prioritized gaps, and actionable recommendations. Use clear headings. Tone: constructive and specific.

- Stay within the scope of content marketing.
