- {{metrics}}: Key metrics you care about (e.g., engagement, traffic, conversions).
Instructions

- Identify keywords and phrases they use in their digital content, and suggest how we can differentiate our messaging.
- If possible, estimate website traffic metrics (bounce rate, conversion rate) using available data or proxies, and compare with industry benchmarks.
- Analyze customer sentiment towards the competitor across platforms (reviews, social comments) to identify strengths and weaknesses.
