For Shield users
Shield is winding down. Your read of your own content doesn't have to.
Shield gave you honest LinkedIn analytics. growth.store gives you more on a bigger canvas: one read of your content across every network you publish on, scored for what actually landed — the Engagement Quality score — and quiet, opt-in introductions to the creators rising alongside you.

What happened to Shield
In spring 2026, Shield's founders announced they're winding the product down.
In their own words: “Both Google and LinkedIn made it clear that we could not continue operating Shield as it was built. We decided not to fight it.”
No migration path. No endorsed successor. And no announced date for when accounts and data access go dark.
Shield was a good product — it earned its users and kept them for years. This page isn't a victory lap. It's a place to land.
First: export your data from Shield. Today.
Shield hasn't said exactly when data access ends, which means it could end without much warning. So before you read another word of anyone's pitch, including ours: log into Shield and export your history.
That file is years of your work. Get it onto your own machine. Whatever you do next, that part is just good sense.
What you get here: the read Shield gave you, on a bigger canvas
Shield read one network. growth.store reads all of them. Connect your LinkedIn account — one OAuth click, no passwords, no CSV to wrangle — and your performance picture comes back live, alongside YouTube, your newsletter, whatever else you publish on, normalized onto one honest scale.
Then comes the part analytics never had: the Engagement Quality score. Not just impressions and engagement counts — a read of whether your content actually landed: comment substance, save-worthiness, real resonance. One number, every network, shown only to you.
growth.store reads your live connected accounts rather than importing an archive — so your picture builds from your own data going forward, across every network you connect, not from a one-time file.
Shield told you what happened. growth.store tells you what it was worth — and who's rising with you.
What Shield did
- Tracked your LinkedIn posts over time
- Showed impressions, engagement, growth trends
- Told you what happened on one network
What growth.store does
- Scores your content for real resonance, not just reach
- Reads every network you publish on, on one scale
- Introduces you to creators rising in your lane — opt-in, both sides
- Shows your data only to you, never pooled across creators
What stays the way you liked it
- The numbers, still here. Reach, impressions, engagement — the analytics habit survives the move, now across every network.
- No passwords, no scraping. You connect your own accounts by OAuth. We read your own data and nothing else.
- Your data stays yours. Shown only to you, never combined with another creator's, and exportable from your dashboard whenever you want — including the day you leave. We hold doors open; we don't lock them.

Questions
- Shield got shut down. How do I know the same won't happen to you?
Honest answer: nobody building on top of someone else's platform can promise you forever, and you should be suspicious of anyone who does. What we can tell you is what's different by design.
Shield's model required operating in a way the platforms ultimately said no to. growth.store reads only your own connected data, shows it only to you, and never combines or warehouses other people's platform data — the thing that draws platform fire. We're built to GDPR + CCPA from the first commit, with SOC 2 in progress.
And your data is exportable from your dashboard any day, including a bad one — you'd walk out with your history through the same door we're holding open right now.
- Do you need my LinkedIn password?
- Never. You connect your accounts by OAuth. Your credentials are never seen or stored.
- Does growth.store work across more than LinkedIn?
- Yes — that's the point. Connect YouTube, your newsletter, LinkedIn, and growth.store scores them all on one honest scale. Shield read one network; we read every one you publish on.
Shield is winding down. Your content's worth isn't.
