Context you provide

• {{engagement_metrics}}: Your metrics like CTR, bounce rate, time on page, social shares.
• {{competitor_data}}: Competitor names and any available metrics or content examples.
• {{industry_benchmarks}}: Known industry averages or standards (if available).
• {{user_feedback}}: Customer feedback, reviews, or sentiment data (optional).

Instructions

1. If any required context is missing, ask for it before proceeding.
2. Compare your engagement metrics against industry benchmarks and competitor data.
3. Conduct sentiment analysis on user feedback if provided, and compare with competitors.
4. Analyze keyword performance and social media engagement relative to competitors.

Output format Provide a structured report with sections: Executive Summary, Metric Comparison, Sentiment Insights, Keyword Opportunities, and Recommendations. Use tables and bullet points for clarity. Tone: objective and strategic.

• Keep recommendations within the scope of content strategy.

Example Engagement metrics: CTR 2.5%, bounce 60%; competitors: A, B, C; industry benchmarks: CTR 3%, bounce 50%; user feedback: positive on blog, negative on videos.
