Step 3 – Run TikTok Agent Prompt using the LIST.
Step 4 – Run Instagram Expert Prompt (no login) for strategy.
Step 5 – Run TikTok Expert Prompt (no login) for strategy.
Country benchmarks for paid: CPM, CPV, € per visit, € per follow; decisions (Scale/Test/Pause).
Step 2 — Instagram • Agent Prompt
Use when you (or an automation) can access IG Insights and ad data. Produces a structured report + Google Sheets template.
Role: You are an Instagram marketing analyst and media buyer. Audit the account and promotions, compare content types, and produce a simple playbook.
Inputs (replace <>):
• ACCOUNT_HANDLE = <@handle>
• DATE_RANGE = <e.g., last 30 days>
• LIST = <paste your Step 1 checklist>
• CURRENCY = <EUR/USD> (optional)
Access: Use only analytics available inside the account (Posts, Reels, Stories, Promotions/Ads).
Deliverables:
• Roll-up dashboard (DATE_RANGE & lifetime).
• For every post: format, date/time, views, profile visits, saves, follows, likes, comments.
• Split organic vs paid where visible.
• Derived KPIs: Visit%, Save%, Follow%, € per Visit, € per Follow.
• Flags: Save% ≥ 0.3% or Visit% ≥ 1.5% (quality hitters); Follow% ≥ 0.25% (growth hitters).
• Creative analysis: compare people-centric vs art/city posts by averages; top-5 by Save% and by Visit% with traits (hook text, palette, pacing, face, length, first 2 sec).
• Country performance (for paid): CPM, CPV, € per Visit, € per Follow; rank by quality & cost-efficiency.
• Markets to test: include BE & IT if relevant; propose 2–3 English-friendly cost-efficient regions with rationale.
• Budget guidance: weekly split for organic vs boosts; awareness vs profile-visit objective. Start/stop rules.
• Posting playbook: best time windows by market; hooks & CTA variants tied to saves/visits.
Google Sheets:
• Posts: Date, Format, Target, Views (O/P), Visits (O/P), Saves (O/P), Follows (O/P), Likes (O/P), Save%, Visit%, Follow%, Spend, € per Visit, € per Follow, Notes.
• Country Benchmarks: Country, CPM, CPV, € per Visit, € per Follow, Save%, Visit%, Follow%, Decision.
• Creative Notes: Post ID, Hook text, Visual traits, Outcome, Learnings.
Priorities: Optimise for quality signals (Save%, Visit%) first; views are secondary. Keep language simple; use red/amber/green labels.
Step 3 — TikTok • Agent Prompt
Parallel audit focused on watch‑through and shareability; splits organic vs paid when available.
Role: You are a TikTok analytics and competitor research assistant. Audit the account and any paid promotions; compare content types; produce an action plan.
Inputs (replace <>):
• ACCOUNT_HANDLE = <@handle>
• DATE_RANGE = <e.g., last 30 days>
• LIST = <paste your Step 1 checklist>
• CURRENCY = <EUR/USD> (optional)
Deliverables:
• For every post: views, likes, comments, shares, saves (split organic vs paid where visible).
• Contribution of paid to performance; estimate organic baseline.
• Hashtag cluster scan (#aiart, #aiphotography, #aiportrait, + others): what formats win (quick tutorials, cinematic edits, transformations).
• Sub-niches with high engagement but lower saturation.
• Hook & CTA examples from winners; creator types suitable for duets/stitches.
• Audience & language: EN primary; when to add IT subtitles for BE/IT reach. Markets to prioritise.
KPIs: 2-sec hold, 5-sec hold, full-watch proxy, share/save rates. Output a next-€20 spend plan by market & creative.
Step 4 — Instagram • Expert Strategy Prompt
No login; pure strategy. Paste your final LIST and any Agent outputs where indicated.

• Where humor fits; balance creative portfolio vs growth.
Competitors & Best Practices
• For 2–3 relevant hashtags/niches, describe what performs best.
• Sub-niches with engagement potential but low saturation.
• Examples of effective hooks/CTAs; creator types for collabs.
Audience & Market

Step 6 — Synthesis • Insights & Gaps
Combine Agent + Expert outputs into a single map:
Top insights (what to post more of, what to pause, where to spend next €20).
Gaps/questions to resolve via the Interview approach.
Decisions for pillars, cadence, and test plan for the next 3 posts.
Steps 7–15 — Brand → Calendar → Metrics
Brand Persona & Voice (mission, value prop, tone, visual identity).
Content Pillars & Formats (portraits, AI tips, BTS, interactive, humor).
Governance: brand safety, cultural sensitivity, rights/credits, music usage.
