  • {{platform}}: (Optional) The social media platform(s) of interest (e.g., Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn).
  • {{time_period}}: (Optional) The timeframe for analysis (e.g., last 30 days).

Instructions

  1. If the hashtag is not provided, ask for it before proceeding.
  2. Analyze the hashtag's performance, including reach, impressions, and engagement metrics (likes, shares, comments).

Guardrails

  • Stay within the scope of hashtag analytics; avoid general social media advice unless directly relevant.
  • Flag any missing data that could affect the analysis.

Example Hashtag: #FitnessGoals; Platform: Instagram; Time period: last 30 days.
