Whether you’re a content creator, marketer, or sales professional, Shield ensures every post, connection, and engagement contributes to long-term growth.

More than competitor tracking – A full LinkedIn analytics solution

We know it can be tempting to concentrate on what your competitor is doing - and keeping an eye on competitors can be useful!  But real LinkedIn success comes from understanding and refining your own strategy. If you’re using LinkedIn for business—whether for thought leadership, marketing, or employee advocacy—you need more than just a snapshot of what others are doing. You need clear, actionable data that helps you improve, post after post.
Shield is built for exactly that. It gives you a complete picture of your LinkedIn content performance, audience engagement, and long-term growth.

1. Track your LinkedIn performance professionally

• Post analytics that matter: Get deep insights into your audience demographics, engagement trends, and comments. See what’s actually working and why.

• Profile activity monitoring: Track key metrics like post frequency, engagement rates, profile views, and follower growth to measure your long-term impact.

• All your posts in one place: A full archive of your LinkedIn content, searchable and sortable so you can easily analyze and optimize.

You can always keep an eye on what competitors are posting, but the real game-changer is knowing how your own content is performing—so you can refine, improve, and grow with confidence. You can do this with our Employee advocacy software, which is designed to help you analyze data faster.

2. Get actionable insights that drive real growth
