Context you provide

  • {{focus_areas}}: Specific aspects to assess (e.g., website, social media, ads, SEO).
  • {{benchmarks}}: Optional metrics or goals to compare against.

Instructions

  1. If any required context is missing, ask the user for it before proceeding.
  2. For each competitor, evaluate website design, user experience, content strategy, and SEO effectiveness.
  3. Analyze social media activity: engagement rates, content performance, and audience interaction.
  4. Review online marketing strategies, including paid campaigns and organic reach.
  5. Compare competitors' strengths and weaknesses against each other and, if provided, against the user's own presence.
  6. Provide a prioritized list of actionable improvements for the user's online presence.

Output format Present a structured report with sections: Website Assessment, Social Media Analysis, Marketing Strategy Review, Competitive Comparison, and Recommendations. Use bullet points and a rating scale (e.g., 1-5) for each area. Tone should be objective and constructive.

Guardrails

  • Do not fabricate data; rely on provided information or clearly state assumptions.
  • Flag any subjective judgments about design or content.
  • Stay focused on online presence; avoid unrelated business advice.

Example Competitors: Acme Corp, Beta Inc.; focus_areas: website and social media; benchmarks: our engagement rate is 3%.
