Introduction

In today’s digital landscape, visibility across websites and social media is crucial. Tracking engagement metrics like website visitors, social media growth, blog posts, and automated content generation can help optimize reach and impact.

Using IBM Watsonx AI, we can develop an agentic AI solution that:

✅ Tracks website visitors, likes, followers, and engagement
✅ Analyzes trends and recommends new content

1️⃣ Tracking Website and Social Media Growth

The first step is setting up an AI-powered analytics dashboard to track:

• Website visitors (Google Analytics API)
• New subscribers (YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn APIs)
• Social media growth (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok)
• New blog/social media posts

Step 1: Tracking Website Visitors with Google Analytics

Google Analytics API provides real-time tracking of website traffic.

Install Required Libraries

pip install google-auth google-auth-oauthlib google-auth-httplib2 google-api-python-client

Fetch Website Visitor Data

from googleapiclient.discovery import build
from google.oauth2 import service_account

# Load Credentials
SERVICE_ACCOUNT_FILE = 'your_google_credentials.json'
SCOPES = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics.readonly']

credentials = service_account.Credentials.from_service_account_file(
    SERVICE_ACCOUNT_FILE, scopes=SCOPES)

# Initialize Google Analytics API
analytics = build('analyticsreporting', 'v4', credentials=credentials)

def get_website_visitors():
    response = analytics.reports().batchGet(
        body={
            'reportRequests': [{
                'viewId': 'YOUR_VIEW_ID',
                'dateRanges': [{'startDate': '7daysAgo', 'endDate': 'today'}],
                'metrics': [{'expression': 'ga:pageviews'}]
            }]
        }
    ).execute()
    return response['reports'][0]['data']['totals'][0]['values'][0]

print("Website Visitors in the Last 7 Days:", get_website_visitors())

2️⃣ Automating AI-Generated Content

Using Watsonx AI, we can generate relevant blog and social media posts based on trending topics.

Step 2: Fetch Trending Topics

Watsonx AI’s Natural Language Understanding (NLU) API can extract trending keywords from sources like news websites.

Install Required Libraries

pip install ibm-watson requests

Extract Trending Topics

from ibm_watson import NaturalLanguageUnderstandingV1
from ibm_watson.natural_language_understanding_v1 import Features, KeywordsOptions
from ibm_cloud_sdk_core.authenticators import IAMAuthenticator

API_KEY = "YOUR_NLU_API_KEY"
NLU_URL = "YOUR_NLU_SERVICE_URL"

authenticator = IAMAuthenticator(API_KEY)
nlu = NaturalLanguageUnderstandingV1(version="2023-03-15", authenticator=authenticator)
nlu.set_service_url(NLU_URL)

def fetch_trending_topics(url):
    response = nlu.analyze(
        url=url,
        features=Features(keywords=KeywordsOptions(limit=5))
    ).get_result()
    return [keyword['text'] for keyword in response['keywords']]

news_url = "https://www.bbc.com/news/technology"
print("Trending Topics:", fetch_trending_topics(news_url))

This ensures AI-generated content aligns with real-time trends.

3️⃣ Scheduling & Automating Content Posting

Instead of manual posting, we’ll use APScheduler to schedule AI-generated content at the best engagement times.

Step 3: Install Scheduler

pip install apscheduler

Step 4: Automate Posting Every 6 Hours

from apscheduler.schedulers.background import BackgroundScheduler
import time

scheduler = BackgroundScheduler()

def auto_post():
    content = "🚀 AI is revolutionizing content marketing!"  # AI-generated content
    print("Auto-posting:", content)

scheduler.add_job(auto_post, 'interval', hours=6)
scheduler.start()

try:
    while True:
        time.sleep(10)
except (KeyboardInterrupt, SystemExit):
    scheduler.shutdown()

✅ This script automatically posts AI-generated content every 6 hours.

4️⃣ Optimizing Posting Times with AI

To maximize engagement, AI should post at the best times based on audience behavior.

Step 5: AI-Powered Best Posting Time

import datetime

engagement_data = {
    "Monday": [9, 12, 18],
    "Tuesday": [10, 14, 20],
    "Wednesday": [8, 13, 19],
    "Thursday": [9, 15, 21],
    "Friday": [7, 11, 16],
    "Saturday": [12, 17, 22],
    "Sunday": [14, 18, 23]
}

def best_post_time():
    today = datetime.datetime.today().strftime('%A')
    return engagement_data[today][0]

print(f"Best time to post today: {best_post_time()}h")

🚀 Posts are now scheduled at peak engagement hours.

5️⃣ Expanding to Instagram, YouTube & TikTok

Step 6: Automate Instagram Posting

import instabot  

bot = instabot.Bot()
bot.login(username="your_instagram_username", password="your_password")

def post_instagram(content, image_path):
    bot.upload_photo(image_path, caption=content)
    print("Posted on Instagram:", content)

post_instagram("🚀 AI-Powered Marketing!", "image.jpg")

Step 7: Automate YouTube Posting

from googleapiclient.discovery import build  

youtube = build('youtube', 'v3', developerKey="YOUR_YOUTUBE_API_KEY")

def post_youtube(video_file, title, description):
    request = youtube.videos().insert(
        part="snippet,status",
        body={
            "snippet": {"title": title, "description": description, "categoryId": "22"},
            "status": {"privacyStatus": "public"}
        },
        media_body=video_file
    )
    request.execute()
    print("Posted on YouTube:", title)

post_youtube("video.mp4", "AI-Powered Marketing", "Learn how AI boosts content.")

6️⃣ Chatbot Integration with Watsonx AI

A chatbot can provide real-time content insights based on Watsonx AI analysis.

Step 8: Integrate Watsonx Chatbot

from ibm_watson import AssistantV2
from ibm_cloud_sdk_core.authenticators import IAMAuthenticator

AUTHENTICATOR = IAMAuthenticator('YOUR_ASSISTANT_API_KEY')
assistant = AssistantV2(version='2023-06-15', authenticator=AUTHENTICATOR)
assistant.set_service_url('YOUR_ASSISTANT_URL')

def chatbot_response(user_input):
    response = assistant.message_stateless(
        assistant_id='YOUR_ASSISTANT_ID',
        input={'text': user_input}
    ).get_result()
    return response['output']['generic'][0]['text']

print(chatbot_response("How is my content performing?"))

✅ This chatbot analyzes content and provides AI-driven suggestions.
