Benefits of the Growth Score
One number for progress – No need to open multiple tools; one score on the dashboard.
You decide what counts – Turn events on/off and set points so the score matches what matters (content, community, sales).
Goals and achievements – Set goals, see progress, and use achievements (milestones, records) for motivation or reporting.
Client/stakeholder reporting – Show the dashboard (score plus breakdown plus achievements) instead of exporting to spreadsheets.
Flexible inputs – Built-in events plus custom events (code, external page view, REST, future webhooks) so external systems can contribute.
Use cases
Content teams – Focus on New Post (and optionally post type). Use the score and achievements to see publishing momentum and hit content goals.
Community / engagement – Emphasize New Comment (and optionally New User). Prove engagement growth without leaving the admin.
E-commerce – Use New Order and Product Review. Track sales and review activity in one score and show it on the dashboard.
Agencies – Same setup across client sites: same events and weights, one dashboard per site to report how we are doing.
External conversions – Custom event plus Advanced use or REST: newsletter signups, form submissions, app events, or CRM triggers that POST to FleekDash so they count in the score.
Multi-site – Each site has its own Growth Score and events; no cross-site aggregation out of the box, but the model is consistent for reporting per site.

What it is – Single number = sum of (event occurrences times points per event).
