29 SEO-related Extensions for Google Chrome

Three things before we move onto the extensions themselves:

1. Most plugins come with a set of preferences that you can use to customize a tool or disable unneeded features so that they won’t slow you or your browser down.
2. Hotkeys make your life easier and spare you from reaching for extension icons or combing for them in a long list. It’s something that can noticeably speed up your work with the most used extensions. You can add custom keybindings here: chrome://extensions/shortcuts.
3. Hide unused icons, or your browser will turn into an icon monster. Right-click on an icon and select “Hide in Chrome menu” to hide it.

This plugin displays rank numbers in Google and Bing search results.

This is a really useful tool for an SEO specialist. It allows you to change your location for Google search results. You can’t change a region for your search results in Google in a couple of clicks, so this extension is a godsend.

How to use it:

1. Bring up the “Fixed Location” tab in plugin settings and mark a city you need on a map.
2. Select “Use Fixed Location” in Options.
3. In the footer of your search results, check “My current location”.

Furthermore, you can configure your coverage radius in the plugin settings. This can be useful when working with Local Pack in search results or with geo-dependent queries in Google Maps.

Pros: free, simple UI.

Cons: the bar for selecting a city doesn’t work as of now.

Here are some tools for SEO analysis that are not worthy of a separate paragraph but can still be of use.

Below is the  trio of multi-purpose SEO tools for an express audit of a page. These are often included in various SEO extensions lists, but they don’t really have something that sets them apart from hundreds of others:

1. SEO Analysis & Website Review by WooRank
2. MozBar
3. Redirect Path — basically, another Link Redirect Trace, but in a different package.

The following tools can make page analysis easier if you have required accounts.

1. Serpstat Website SEO Checker — works for a quick page audit.
2. Ahrefs SEO Toolbar — good for analyzing a site or a page from a link juice perspective.

We went over probably the best SEO tools out there that can make life easier for both novices and seasoned SEO experts alike. These extensions work for most cases — but if for you, this too is not enough, then welcome!
