5 Google Chrome Extensions Every Marketer Needs
I have to confess, I’m kind of obsessed with Chrome extensions. There are just so many fun and useful tools out there. Some are helpful on the job, sure, but so many of them are just frickin’ cool.?
For example, now that spooky season is behind us and the holidays are upon us, I’ll be using Cursor Style to change my cursor from a zombie's hand to a snowman. Fa la la la la, la la la click.
You’re not here to listen to us sing though, are you? No, you’re here because you’re a marketer, or part of your job is to market a business. That isn’t always easy. Trust us, we know. You’ll take every bit of help that you can get.?
That’s where these extensions come in. They’ll help you look great and also streamline your work. Enough jabber jawing now, let’s get to it. Here are five Chrome extensions every marketer needs.
Do you like to look good? Do you want people to think you’re intelligent and well-spoken? We know you are, but they don’t know that. (Yet.) Well, you need Grammarly.?
Remember the good ol’ spell check function? We barely do, because we switched to Grammarly ages ago. It’s like if spell check hit the gym for a year and really bulked up, with six-pack abs and everything. It’s an all-in-one spelling and grammar checker that can be used for free.
This blog you are reading right now was meticulously checked for errors by Grammarly. And look how well we spelled these words. Very well.
Everybody has been there. Digging through a mountain of emails for any one of a thousand reasons. Can’t remember a contact name. What was the latest update on that pressing project??
Right Inbox can help with that. It offers several key features, including: add notes on emails that only you can read, schedule automated follow-up emails, set up email reminders, see who is opening your emails, and more. Right Inbox will save you time so you can focus on completing the actual projects.

Have you ever gone to a website and been like “Wow that feature is so cool, how did they do that!?” Happens to us all the time. I’m sure it happens to you too if you have any say about what your website looks like.?
Well, now you can find out how they did that cool thing with Wappalyzer. Use it to analyze the cool site and get information about what technology, software, and features were used. Take that information and make your website look extra spiffy.
If you’re anything like us, you have a lot of contacts. Like, a LOT. Many of them move in and out of our business relationships as time passes, so it can be very difficult to locate a specific one sometimes. Say hello to Voila Norbert.?
Use it to search websites for email addresses, job titles, names, and more. Looking for someone without any sort of contact information? Just type their company into the search bar.?
Voila Norbert has made us say “Oh yeah, that’s the guy I spoke to!” More times than we can count.
This one’s for all of you marketers out there who got thrown into the design game for whatever reason. Color matching can be very annoying, especially when you’re short on time. Sure, you could pull a screenshot into some design software like Photoshop or Canva and color match from there, but why not just cut out the middleman??
Allow us to introduce you to Eye Dropper. Eye Dropper allows you to pull the exact color from any website or image without having to use design software. You know what they say. Time is money. (Do people still say that?) It might take less than a minute, but multiply that by the hundreds or thousands of designs and edits you make. Thank you for saving us so much time, Eye Dropper!
Now go! Run free and explore the wonderful world of Chrome extensions. Just don’t forget to give these ones, in particular, a shot because they have been super helpful to us as marketers. You can thank us later. Preferably in the form of donuts or flowers.
