New month. New momentum.
It’s a new month - which means it’s the perfect time to reflect, reset, and get strategic about what you post next.
Here’s your Shield checklist to kick things off strong:
↓
Step 1: Review what actually worked
Go to your Posts tab → set the date range to last month.
Now ask yourself:
- Sort by impressions or comments
- Choose the format you’d like to analyse
Step 2: Spot your winning themes
Use Collections to group posts by topic or type (e.g. “Hiring,” “Tips,” “Personal stories”).
Once grouped, you can compare entire content buckets.
- Which collection has the best avg. engagement?
- Which one drives consistent reach?
Let this guide your next 4–5 posts.
See how to create collections here.
Step 3: Track your growth signals
Jump into the Profile tab and zoom in on:
- Follower growth: Did last month’s effort actually move the needle?
- Engagement rate: Are people interacting or just seeing?
If growth is flat, test a new format or revisit your best-performing collection.
Step 4: Know your value
Your organic reach = earned money.
Go to check your EMV and see how much it would’ve cost in paid ads to get the same results.
(Spoiler: You’re doing better than you think.)
