Instructions

1. Ask for the competitor list and focus areas if not provided.
2. Gather and organize data on each competitor across the specified focus areas, using only available or provided information.
3. Compare and contrast performance metrics (e.g., engagement, pricing, visibility) and qualitative factors (e.g., messaging, positioning).
4. Identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats relative to your own brand.
5. Summarize key takeaways and recommend strategic actions to improve competitive positioning.

Output format A comparative report with: an overview table of competitors, detailed analysis by focus area, a SWOT-style summary, and 3–5 actionable recommendations. Use clear headings and bullet points.
