30+ Marketing & SEO Chrome Extensions That Marketers Are Actually Using

So, in no particular order, here's a list of 30 marketing and SEO chrome extensions you're all loving right now (plus some bonus recommendations).

1. Facebook Pixel Finder

When you set up your Facebook advertising, you're required to add a Facebook pixel to the header section of your website.

This helps Facebook understand the actions taken on your site, for improved ad relevance and personalization.

For the code-averse marketers of this world (guilty!) this can be a bit of a tricky task.

This chrome extension helps you validate your Facebook pixel implementation, and it's a marketer favorite...

2. The BuzzSumo Chrome Extension

BuzzSumo's V1 Chrome Extension was used by 20,000+ marketers, and now we've launched a shiny new version with a whole host of nifty features.

This plugin gives you access to content performance insight as you browse, so you can research on the go.

Context-switching is the bane of marketers lives. But with BuzzSumo's V2 Chrome Extension, you can face tab-fatigue head on, and research while you read.

Analyze:

• Blogs and articles
• The SERPs
• Instagram profiles and posts
• YouTube channels and videos
• Twitter profiles
• Facebook profiles and posts

You can also dive deeper into the data by jumping into the platform, and even bank your favorite articles by saving to a project.

This extension is great for investigating top-ranking SERP content, and dissecting the content strategies of your competitors.

Use it as part of a 10x skyscraper strategy, to find and build upon content that performs best in three key areas; links, shares, and rankings.

The BuzzSumo extension is a firm favorite of marketers and PRs across the Twittersphere...

Install the BuzzSumo SEO Chrome Extension

1. Install the extension from the Chrome Extension store
2. Make sure that you are registered with BuzzSumo and logged in
3. On any article you’re viewing just click the BuzzSumo Chrome Extension logo
4. That’s it - immediate analysis at your fingertips!

If you sign up for a trial you’ll get 30-days of searching completely free.

3. Liner

Ever come up with marketing or content ideas while you're reading? I definitely do.

But all too often, when I revisit the article, I can't remember a thing about my lightbulb moment.

This chrome extension ensures that doesn't happen.

It lets you highlight content on any webpage or PDF, make your own notes, and share your highlighted thoughts with others.

4. Web Page Screenshot

Sometimes you just can't fit everything you want to in a static screenshot. This handy extension lets you capture scrolling screenshots and annotate your images, for more thorough documentation in blogs, emails, and social posts.

5. Pocket

Similarly to BuzzSumo's chrome extension, Pocket allows you to save and revisit content you find on the web.

We know how great Pocket is, so we've enabled our customers to save content to Pocket from within BuzzSumo.

6. UTM.lo

You can often find PRs and marketers furiously going back and forth between their content and a UTM link builder, to make sure their campaign performance is being accurately measured in Google Analytics.

This extension enables them to just that, but within one browser tab, as they build their campaign.

7. Treeverse

This chrome extension gives you a cool way to visualize and navigate conversations that are gaining engagement and momentum on Twitter.

Conversations are visualized as a tree, and each branch color represents the period of time passed between each reply.

You can see the key contributors to the conversation via their Twitter photo, and monitor conversations as they grow.

Marketers love this insight...

8. Social share preview

This plugin allows you to check any website's social share previews while you browse.

You can conduct audits of your own content across Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Pinterest, to know where to focus your optimization efforts.

Nice 😎

9. ONETAB

I actually installed this one while writing, and it's already working miracles.

I have long been saving URLs to docs, or creating chrome extension tab folders to organize my tabs, but the problem with the former is that it's super easy to ignore, while the latter just allows me to hide things that I don't want to deal with and slows down my browser / internet in the process (master procrastinator over here), so this plugin is awesome.

You simply hit the logo to convert all of your open tabs into a list, and save 95% memory in the process.

10. Hoverify

This SEO chrome extension allows you to dig into the "Inspect" page function, to get a better idea of how sites are structured.

In SEO terms, this means you can take learnings from other sites to improve the user experience of your own website, and even optimize for different devices.

However, unlike nearly all of the marketing and SEO chrome extensions on this list, it isn't free.

Hoverify will set you back $25 – but that's not a bad price for lifetime usage.

11. SEO Pro

SEOs really love this free SEO chrome extension. Created by Kristina Azarenko, it gives you information on the URL you are viewing in your browse, in relation to:

This extension shows you Core Web Vitals scores underneath Google results as you search, based on Google's official Chrome User Experience Report.

17. GoFullPage

Another extension I am a proud user of, GoFullPage (similarly to Web Page Screenshot) allows you to capture scrolling shots of your browser, and edit all in one go.

18. Video Speed Controller

Marketing is all about creating and consuming engaging content. To learn and get inspired, we often turn to YouTube, but there's never enough time in the day to consume all the content we bookmark.

That's where this extension can help.

Video Speed Controller surfaces the speed features that YouTube usually hides.

Like a remote control, it will allow you to make quick playback speed adjustments, so you can speed through and digest content as fast as Number 5 (and if you don't get this reference, I feel for you and your misspent youth)

19. Inspect Canonical

Nick LeRoy, the SEO expert behind newsletter #SEOforlunch, created this SEO chrome extension to help you check the canonical source of any URL you visit.

With a traffic light system, you can find out whether a canonical tag has been detected, whether it differs from the URL you're visiting, and whether it is indeed the canonical page.

20. Power Thesaurus

A copywriter's best friend, the Power Thesaurus chrome extension enables you to view synonyms and antonyms for any word you select on any page.

21. Detailed SEO Extension

A big favorite in the SEO community, Z-Tools helps you track the impact of Google search updates on your web traffic, by plotting Google Search updates on Google Analytics.

It also sends you periodic notifications about how you can improve the SEO ranking of your website.

25. View Rendered Source

This is one for the techy SEOs 🤓

View Rendered Source was built with web developers in mind, but also enables SEO users to understand how a search engine views a web page.

Differences between raw and rendered versions of the page are highlighted line-by-line to show how JavaScript has modified the page when rendering.

26. Paywall Label for Facebook, Twitter & Google

We've all clicked on an article, only to discover it sits behind a paywall. This plugin allows you to add a paywall label to content in Google, Facebook, and Twitter, for your own future reference.

27. GMBspy

If you've ever created a Google My Business page, you'll know how tricky it can be to define the categories of your business.

Categories inform Google's knowledge graph, and can help improve your rankings in local search.

With this SEO chrome extension, you can easily view and export the categories of your top ranking competitors, to dictate your own local search strategy.
