Marketing & SEOIntermediate★ 1,857⑂ 17AI score 8/10Last updated: Aug 26, 2026
What it does
- Pulls public profile and recent post data across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, X, Threads and Bluesky.
- Detects outlier content using each account's own median baseline instead of raw cross-brand view counts.
- Analyzes content pillars, formats, hook styles, posting cadence, offers/CTAs and comment patterns.
- Outputs a fixed Markdown brief with snapshot tables, cross-competitor patterns, gaps and recommended tests.
- Includes guardrails: don't rank by follower count alone, don't mix platform context, phrase inferences as "appears to".
Who it's for
- Social marketers, content strategists and growth teams.
- Brand owners benchmarking before launching a new channel.
- Creators validating what works in their niche.
- Prerequisite: a ScrapeCreators API key (
SCRAPECREATORS_API_KEY).
Example uses
- "Compare the last 30 days of TikTok and Instagram content for these three competitors and write a brief."
- "Find the outlier videos across these 5 YouTube channels and summarize their hook patterns."
- "Identify content gaps that B2B SaaS competitors on LinkedIn are ignoring."
