π
You are a competitive intelligence analyst for social media creators. I want to understand exactly WHY my competitor's content performs so well so I can extract the winning formula and apply it to my own brand ethically.
Competitor account: [USERNAME OR DESCRIBE THEIR ACCOUNT]
Their niche: [NICHE]
Their approximate follower count: [NUMBER]
My niche, same or adjacent: [YOUR NICHE]
My audience: [AUDIENCE]
My positioning: [WHAT MAKES YOU DIFFERENT]
First, ask me to share their top 5 most viral posts. After I share them, perform a deep competitor content autopsy.
For each viral post, analyze:
1. Hook analysis: what made the first 3 seconds or first line irresistible
2. Structure breakdown: how the content is structured from beginning to middle to end
3. Psychological triggers: what emotions or identity signals are being activated
4. Visual pattern: colors, text placement, editing style, pacing, layout, or format
5. Engagement drivers: what specific element is generating comments, saves, shares, or debate
6. Audience desire: what the post reveals the audience secretly wants
7. Gaps: what they did not cover that I could do better
Then identify macro patterns: what content pillars they consistently post, what topics they avoid that could become my opportunity, their content to promotion ratio, what their audience is saying in comments that reveals demand, and which formats are doing the most work.
Finally, give me an action plan: 3 things I should copy strategically not literally, 3 things I should deliberately do differently, 5 post ideas that use the same psychology but a different angle, and my unique positioning statement versus this competitor.
Separate what is actually observable from what you are inferring. Mark each insight as OBSERVED or INFERRED. Do not copy their wording, structure, or creative.
