- {{industry-or-niche}}: Your industry or niche (e.g., e-commerce, health, technology).
- {{target-audience}}: The audience you want to attract (e.g., local customers, professionals, hobbyists).

Instructions
- Ask for the product/service, industry, target audience, and campaign goals if not provided.
