Top Chrome Extensions For Digital Marketer (SEO)

The Best Google Chrome Extensions for SEO

Google PageSpeed Insights :?Displays any site’s PageSpeed score

Platform: Chrome

Why We Like It: It does exactly what it says on the tin. If you need to see if a site is mobile-friendly and fast, there’s no better way. While you could easily accomplish the same thing by inserting a page’s URL into Google’s PageSpeed Insights site, why go through that extra step when this add-on will do it for you?

Serpstat : Instant SEO keyword research and competitive analysis

Platform: Chrome

What It Does: Allows you to see data from Serpstat’s database while you’re still viewing the page — saving you the step of having to go to their site, log in and search for the same page.

Why We Like It:?Serpstat , if you aren’t familiar, is an SEO tool designed to make keyword research and analysis easier for marketers. While fairly powerful on its own, the Serpstat add-on really takes its usefulness to another level.

By being able to see what keywords a page is ranking for (as well as how many it’s ranking for in total) without ever having to leave the page, you can save time when you’re crunching through competitors’ sites trying to find an edge for your client (or your own website).

Ahrefs SEO Toolbar : A flexible SEO extension that’s a must-have if you’re an Ahrefs user

Platform: Chrome, Firefox

Why We Like It: When you’re trying to pick out an SEO toolbar for your browser of choice, there are a few obvious features that you can’t live without things like being able to see how many keywords a page ranks for, how many backlinks a particular page has and how much traffic it’s pulling in.

The Ahrefs SEO Toolbar does all of that — but it also does a lot more, too. It can count the number of outgoing followed/no-followed links on a page, check for broken links (and export that info in Chrome), and quickly give you access to all of the typical Ahrefs metrics (and data) — right in your browser.

And (we’re thankful for this one) you can blacklist certain pages so that the plugin won’t pull data for them.

Ayima Page Insights : Quickly shows you on-page SEO page insights at a glance

Platform: Chrome

Why We Like It: Like many of the other add-ons on this list, this one isn’t going to radically alter the way you do your job — it’s just going to make it a little bit easier. You can also hook it up to Google Search Console for even more insights.

MozBar : Provides instant metrics on any site or SERP

Platform: Chrome

Why We Like It: It’s MozBar! Earnestly, MozBar is a worthy addition to any SEO toolkit, no matter how much of a novice or veteran you are. The ability to see Moz’s metrics at a glance without having to dig into their website is excellent — and once again, it’s an excellent time-saver.

We think the MozBar is especially useful for competitive analysis, as it allows you to do recon quickly without getting too in the weeds.

SEOquake : An all-in-one SEO toolkit in a browser extension

Platform: Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari

Why We Like It: A multi-platform extension created by the folks at SEMrush, SEOquake is a bit like the MozBar on steroids. It allows you to perform SEO audits quickly, examine internal and external links, compare domains against each other and even export everything you’ve found into a file for easy viewing later.

It’s also super configurable, making it a must-have for any digital marketer — even if you only slightly interact with SEO.

Linkclump : open, copy, or save multiple links at the same time

Platform: Chrome

Why We Like It: Often when you’re doing any kind of research — especially when you’re doing SEO research — you need to analyze many pages at once. This often involves opening a bunch from the SERPs, which can take a lot of time. By opening a batch of them for you, Linkclump can save you time, effort, and maybe a little frustration.

No, it’s not going to revolutionize your day — but this Google Chrome extension will spare you precious minutes.

SimilarWeb? (?Firefox version? ): In-depth traffic and engagement stats for any website — right at your fingertips

Platform: Chrome, Firefox

Why We Like It: Much like the other suite-based add-ons on this list (like SEOquake and the MozBar), the SimilarWeb browser extension essentially lets you do everything you could do in SimilarWeb, but without the extra step of going to their website.

If you’re using SimilarWeb already, it’s a no-brainer.

NoFollow : Outlines No follow links on webpages

Platform: Chrome, Firefox, and Opera

Why We Like It: Yet another Chrome extension that does exactly what it says on the tin. This simple tool lets you easily see which links are being tagged with No follow on any page, sparing you the effort of right-clicking each link, opening up DevTools, and looking at the source code.

If your browser is crawling along due to the burden of too many useful marketing extensions, you can opt for?NoFollow Simple , which skips the cosmetic configurations (like changing the color of the link outline) so you get just the functionality you need in a more lightweight package.

Data Miner : Scrape data from websites quickly and save it to a spreadsheet

Platform: Chrome

Why We Like It: While it isn’t the most powerful data mining tool on the market (far from it!), it’s powerful enough for most digital marketers. Scraper can be used to mine websites quickly for all kinds of info, from email addresses to keywords to meta tags. Use it to speed up your content audits by pulling links and their titles from blog or category archives, or generate a data-rich spreadsheet from a given Google SERP — the workload-streamlining possibilities are endless.

While Data Scraper has a bit of a learning curve, it’s worth picking up if you’re the sort of digital marketer who deals with a lot of data. (Which is every sort of digital marketer.)

WhatRuns : Tells you what’s under the hood of a website

Platform: Chrome, Firefox

Why We Like It: WhatRuns is an incredibly useful tool for developers and digital marketers alike. Want to know what WordPress plugins a site is using? What about what sort of analytics are recording clicks? Fonts? Themes? WhatRuns can tell you all of that and more.

It won’t tell you?everything —?you can’t get a full list of plugins we use on?contentfac.com ?just by pulling WhatRuns info (though if you ask us nicely, we’ll let you know!)?—?but if you see something on a website that you instantly want for yourself, it can help point you in the right direction.

Fat Rank : Tells you where your website ranks on Google.

Platform: Chrome

Why We Like It: There are other, more powerful keyword research tools out there, and there are more extensive tools that allow you to dig deeper than Fat Rank. But sometimes, all you need is a free add-on that can tell you where a certain website ranks on Google. For that, Fat Rank is an excellent choice.

OpenSER Stats : Get a page’s traffic ranking, meta tags, load time, and way, way more

Platform: Chrome

Why We Like It: Much like Fat Rank, sometimes all you’re looking for is the basics — and for that, Open SEO Stats is a fantastic option. Whereas Fat Rank gives you keyword ranking information, Open SEO Stats gives you more general information, like how many backlinks a domain has, how many pages it has indexed, and more. A great, lightweight SEO Google Chrome extension.

NAPHunter : Searches for name, address, and phone number info

Platform: Chrome

Why We Like It: If you’re doing local SEO work, one of the easiest fixes is making sure that all of your NAP info is correct. If one name is spelled wrong, or if you don’t have a standardized way of typing out your address (123 Fake Street vs. 123 Fake St.), you could end up with mismatched NAP. That’s bad for local SEO, and so it’s something you need to find and fix.

This, of course, can take a lot of time if you’re doing it manually. NAPHunter does it for you, and it’s such a great time saver that you basically?need?to send the download link to your local SEO friends to show you care.

Majestic Backlink Analyzer:? Provides Majestic’s functionality within your browser

Platform:?Chrome, Firefox

Why We Like It: Majestic’s Backlink Analyzer lets you easily see the strength of any page’s backlink profile. Additionally, it’ll provide you with various charts and graphs to help you visualize the relative strength or weakness of a particular page’s link profile. An absolute must for any marketer using Majestic already.
