What it does

Analyze competitor's social strategy across platforms systematically

Best for

Marketing teams entering a new niche who want to understand competitor tactics without guessing, or quarterly competitive reviews to spot strategy shifts.

Inputs
  • · Competitor name (required)
  • · Competitor social handles (at least one platform, required)
  • · Audit period (default 30 days, range 7-90 days)
  • · Platforms to audit (default: X + LinkedIn + Instagram)
  • · Optional: your brand positioning (for gap analysis)
Outputs
  • · Competitor's social presence inventory (all platforms found)
  • · Content mix breakdown (% Education vs POV vs Proof vs BTS vs CTA vs Engagement vs Trend)
  • · Format patterns (threads vs single posts, carousels vs images, short vs long)
  • · Hook patterns (question, stat, story, contrarian — which drives most engagement)
  • · CTA patterns (newsletter, product, community — where do they push)
  • · Posting cadence (posts per day/week, best-performing days/times)
  • · Voice patterns (formal/casual, first-person/brand, emoji, humor, controversy level)
  • · Gaps and opportunities (what they neglect that you can own)
Requires

  • · Platform-native analytics access (for engagement metrics, if available)
Preconditions

  • · Voice analysis is subjective (rules for formal/casual not specified)
Trust signals
  • · Content categorization taxonomy documented (7 categories: Education, POV, Proof, BTS, CTA, Engagement, Trend)
  • · Hook types specified (question, stat, story, contrarian — which drives engagement)
  • · Engagement level scoring methodology (0-10 based on likes, comments, reshares)
  • · Format patterns tied to platform (threads on X, carousels on LinkedIn/IG)
  • · Gap analysis compared against user's brand positioning (not generic)
