## How to Use

"Analyze this Facebook campaign data and calculate engagement metrics"
"What's the ROI on this Instagram ad campaign with $500 spend and 2,000 clicks?"
"Compare performance across all social platforms for the last month"

## Scripts

- `calculate_metrics.py`: Core calculation engine for all social media metrics
- `analyze_performance.py`: Performance analysis and recommendation generation

## Best Practices

1. Ensure data completeness before analysis (missing metrics affect accuracy)
2. Compare metrics within same time periods for fair comparisons
3. Consider platform-specific benchmarks (Instagram engagement differs from LinkedIn)
4. Account for organic vs. paid metrics separately
5. Track metrics over time to identify trends
6. Include context (seasonality, campaigns, events) when interpreting results

## Limitations

- Requires accurate data from social media platforms
- Industry benchmarks are general guidelines and vary by niche
- Historical data doesn't guarantee future performance
- Organic reach calculations may vary by platform algorithm changes
- Cannot access data directly from platforms (requires manual export or API integration)
- Some platforms limit data availability (e.g., TikTok analytics for business accounts only)
