Google Chrome Extensions For SEO

Your tools are your best friends when it comes to blogging especially if you’re a one-man (or woman) enterprise. They can make your job a lot easier at a relatively low cost; all you have to do is to reach out and grab them, maybe a little research and learning aptitude helps. In any case, some of these tools are better off as Google Chrome extensions for SEO tasks.

True, there are limitless plugins available for free on WordPress, but cramming them all in your backend will surely affect your website’s speed. That’s why it’s better to rely on some Google Chrome extensions for SEO; with them, you can divert the bandwidth and memory load onto your browser or computer, which helps in a faster website.

Of course, this might increase your Google Chrome’s memory consumption but the same can be said for having too many window tabs with your software tools open anyway; those are also clunkier so it’s better to have Google Chrome extensions for SEO purposes at the very least.

Page Analytics by Google

As the name says, this browser extension was made by Google for you guys. That means you can expect it to be quality due to the “home-court advantage.” In any case, Page Analytics is a robust tool you can use to check how users are interacting with your blog’s pages.

It displays information such as where your users click, how many customers are interacting with your website, and how many users are active at any given time. Of course, it also displays the usual metrics such as page views, bounce rate, and other useful information in a simple click.

Keywords Everywhere

Keywords Everywhere is also available for Mozilla Firefox should you prefer a less memory-hungry beast. Regardless, the extension offers bloggers the baseline metrics they need to keep track of in regard to SEO such as the monthly search volume, cost-per-click, and competition.

Moreover, with this extension installed, you no longer have to open a new tab, go to your favorite keyword tracker website or software, and type in the information. All it takes is a click on your browser and arguably fewer actions to perform.

SEMrush

Now, if you want something more comprehensive than what Keywords Everywhere has to offer, SEMrush has something similar and more serious. The SEO website/software has its very own browser extension that displays and reports nearly everything you need to know about your site’s SEO.

This doesn’t come cheap, however– it actually only comes at a premium price of $99 per month. Still, the testimonies speak for themselves; it’s also worth looking into especially if you have the budget for it or are ready to graduate into a bigger blog or company.
