Shado

LinkedIn Ads competitive intelligence. Track advertisers, analyze creative strategies, export campaign data.

You spend 45 minutes per competitor scrolling the LinkedIn Ad Library, screenshotting ads, and pasting them into spreadsheets. Every week. Shado fixes that. Shado is a free Chrome extension that overlays directly on LinkedIn's Ad Library — adding the analysis, filtering, and export tools that LinkedIn should have built in. No new platform to learn, no login, no subscription. Install it, open LinkedIn, and your Ad Library becomes smart. What Shado does 1. Analyze in one click See the full picture instantly: ad count by format (image, video, carousel, document, spotlight), Thought Leader Ads detection, A/B test identification, language detection, and a visual breakdown of the format mix. 2. Filter by format Looking for video ads only? Carousel inspiration? Filter directly inside the Ad Library — no more scrolling past 200 irrelevant ads. 3. Track competitors with Watchlists Create watchlists organized by client or project. Add companies, rename lists, export as CSV. Your competitive intelligence stays structured and accessible. 4. On-page enrichment See an ad count badge directly on LinkedIn company pages. One-click jump to the Ad Library analysis — no tab-hopping needed. 5. Detect ad pixels across websites Beyond LinkedIn, Shado scans any website you visit to reveal active advertising pixels, grouped by channel (Social, Search/SEM, Programmatic). A quick signal map of where a brand invests. 6. Batch analysis (soon) Monitor 10+ competitors from a single watchlist in one action. Shado auto-exports results (HTML + JSON) after each analysis. Start the batch, grab a coffee. 7. Export in seconds (soon) Generate a visual HTML report (perfect for Figma or client presentations) or a structured JSON export with language grouping, A/B detection, and format classification. Your competitive report goes from 2 hours to 2 minutes. Who it's for Shado is built for media buyers, paid social managers, and performance marketers who run LinkedIn Ads — especially those managing multiple clients in agencies. If you've ever wished the LinkedIn Ad Library had filters, exports, and tracking, this is for you. Freelancers and in-house marketers: Shado gives you the competitive intelligence toolkit of a top agency, for free. Why it's free Shado was built by a media buyer who needed it for his own workflow, then shared with the community. All current features will remain free. Always.
