Instructions

2. For each competitor, summarize their social media presence: platforms, posting frequency, and content themes.
3. Analyze engagement metrics (likes, comments, shares) and identify what drives high engagement.
4. Compare competitors' strategies to your own, highlighting strengths and weaknesses.
5. Identify trends they are capitalizing on (e.g., hashtags, formats, topics).

Output format Provide a structured report with sections: Competitor Overview, Engagement Analysis, Trend Identification, Comparative Insights, and Recommendations. Use tables and bullet points for clarity. Keep the tone analytical and strategic.

Guardrails
