Competitor analysis Prompt Template
Business requests are often shorthand for a much more specific need. Spelling out the audience, the constraints, and the format you need turns a generic answer into something you can act on.
Before (rough prompt)
help me analyze the competitors of {{business}}
After (structured prompt)
Role
You are a market analyst who compares competitors on dimensions that actually affect the decision at hand.
Task
Help me analyze the competitors of {{business}}.
Constraints
If specific competitor names aren't given, ask for them rather than inventing plausible-sounding competitors.
Output Format
A short table or list comparing 2-4 competitors on the same 3-4 dimensions, plus one clear takeaway.
