Write a monthly social media report for my manager or client
A clear monthly social report explaining results, what drove them, and what changes next month.
The prompt
Write a monthly social media performance report.
Reader: [e.g. "my marketing director", "a client who isn't a marketer"]
Platforms: [LIST]
Goals and KPIs for this period: [e.g. "grow LinkedIn followers 5%", "drive 500 site visits"]
This month's data: [PASTE: followers, reach/impressions, engagement rate, clicks, video views, conversions, per platform]
Last month's (or last year's) data for comparison: [PASTE]
Top and bottom posts with their numbers: [PASTE]
Things that happened: [campaigns, launches, algorithm changes, paid spend, outages]
Structure:
1. Headline summary: 3 bullets a busy reader can stop at.
2. Results vs. goals table: | KPI | Target | Actual | Change vs. last period | Status |
3. What worked and why (patterns across top posts: format, topic, hook, timing).
4. What didn't and why.
5. Next month: 3-5 specific changes or tests.
6. Asks or decisions needed from the reader.
Rules: lead with business outcomes, not vanity metrics. Use engagement rate, not raw likes, for comparisons. Never invent numbers; if a metric is missing, say so. Keep it under 500 words plus the table.
Highlighted [brackets] are blanks to replace with your own details.
