Shado

About

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. Filter by format
Looking for video ads only? Carousel inspiration? Filter directly inside the Ad Library — no more scrolling past 200 irrelevant ads.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.


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.
