Having tools that can save you time, while providing you with useful insight, is therefore key to keeping your local SEO progress on track when life gets busy.

In addition to your existing local SEO tools, it can be beneficial to add SEO extensions for Chrome to your digital toolkit. To help you make the most of your new Chrome SEO extensions, don’t forget to check out our local SEO resources for useful business listing information, citation sites, and review platforms.  

What are Chrome extensions and why are they useful?

Think of a Chrome extension as a small piece of software that adds an extra capability to your standard Chrome browser. Once downloaded from the Chrome Web Store, your extension will usually appear as a small icon next to the address bar of your browser. You can then click on it to perform the task that that extension has been designed to carry out.

How do I find extensions if they’re not in my taskbar?

Not all extensions appear automatically at the top of your browser. If you can’t see the icon once it’s installed, click the “kebab” menu (three vertical dots) in the top-right corner. Scroll down to ‘More tools’ and select ‘Extensions’. From here you’ll be able to manage all your extensions, choosing which you want to be pinned and whether you want them activated.

Chrome extensions are useful as time-saving devices. They empower Chrome to accomplish a specific task that it may not have the functionality to achieve as easily or seamlessly otherwise. They also allow you to tailor your Chrome experience so that it behaves in a way that’s aligned with your specific needs. 

For example, if you want to know when you have new messages but don’t want to continually log in to Gmail or have an open tab, you can use a Gmail Chrome extension. Once installed, it will monitor for new email messages and offer a new message alert without you having to manually navigate to your Gmail inbox in the browser window.

There are a number of extensions that have been specifically designed for SEO, so we’re going to run through the best.
