Prompt

Using Semrush data for {country} over the last 12 months, identify the top 10 competitors of {your-domain.com} by organic traffic growth. Process: 1. Find the top organic competitors of {your-domain.com} 2. Select top 10 by keyword overlap or competitive relevance Exclude domains with Competitor Relevance = 0.00 and Organic Traffic > 10M — these are mega-platforms (YouTube, Reddit, Facebook), not niche competitors. 3. For each competitor, pull its organic traffic trend over time (one call per domain) 4. Extract: traffic_12m_ago, traffic_now 5. Compute: - traffic_change_abs = traffic_now − traffic_12m_ago - traffic_change_pct = (traffic_change_abs / traffic_12m_ago) × 100 Flag any competitor where traffic_12m_ago < 100 as low_data — % growth from a tiny base is misleading. 6. Determine top_growth_cluster driving traffic growth Return ONE table: Columns: * competitor_domain * traffic_change_abs * traffic_change_pct * top_growth_cluster Limit: top 10 by traffic_change_abs. Complete all sequential calls before returning the final table. Use closest available dates if 12-month data is incomplete.

Example Output (illustrative)

- A table of up to 10 competitors ranked by absolute traffic change — traffic gained, growth %, and top growth cluster
