With this video tutorial, we’ll introduce you to SEOquake and all of its benefits to
digital marketers.
You’ll see why over 300,000 people in the SEO industry use our handy little tool in
their browsers everyday.
In this video, you’ll learn how to install the SEOquake browser plugin.
You can analyze a search engine results page using the plugin.
And you can also review all of our SEO metrics with the SEOquake reports.
SEOquake is a simple browser plugin that provides users with quick access to a handful of SEO
metrics for any page on the internet.
The plugin can be embedded on search engine result pages.
Once installed, the browser plugin should appear with an icon beside your address bar.
When the plugin is active, it will be colorized.
In this menu, you will be able to navigate to any of the reports pulled by SEOquake,
and select which parameters you wanted to analyze.
To turn SEOquake on or off at any time, simply select the gear icon and check or uncheck
the “enable SEOquake” box.
Select the icon to open up the menu.
To take a look at how SEOquake works on a results page, let’s use the keyword “coffee”
as an example.
You’ll see that the parameters for this link will appear below each URL, with everything
from Alexa rank, to number of indexed pages on google, to number of backlinks, and more.
You can configure which parameters to show in SERP overlay by clicking on the parameters
button on the left side.
These results can also be quickly exported by clicking on “export CSV.”
Remember, you can disable or enable SEOquake simply by finding the gear icon and checking
or unchecking “enable SEOquake.”
Another way to achieve this is with the new toggle gear located on the left side of the
page.
If you want to just disable SERP overlay functions, SEOquake allows you to simply uncheck the
box that says “Show Overlay Features” and you will be able to disable SERP features
in Google, Yahoo, Bing, Yandex, SEMrush or all five.
You are able to disable individual features in SEOquake by going into settings and uncheck
the box of your choice.
Click on any of the parameter buttons to be directed to that parameter’s individual
page with more information about the web page.
For example, if we click the alexa icon below the wikipedia result, we’ll be redirected
to wikipedia’s report on alexa.com.
Or, click on the backlinks number to get sent to the domain’s backlinks report on SEMrush.
In addition to its ability to be embedded on a SERP, SEOquake can also pull information
about any web page while you’re viewing it in your browser.
To enable this feature, make sure that you’ve checked the option for “show seobar” under
the settings menu.
To check this out, let’s go to coffeereview.com.
Set by default at the top of the screen, the parameter bar will appear to show the same
metrics from the results page.
We can see Alexa rank, indexed pages, domain age, and other metrics.
To the far right of the SEObar you will notice a settings gear.
This quick preference window will allow you to quickly change the layout of your SEObar,
as well as determine which parameters are being analyzed.
Located directly before the settings gear you will see five icons.
These five icons correspond with specific reports in SEOquake.
By clicking on any of these, SEOquake will bring you directly to that full report.
The Page Info section will give you the basic information about the page, including the
parameters, meta keywords and description, link information, and a preview of the keyword
density.
The Diagnosis section will present you with a brief SEO audit of the web page, showing
you a listing of attributes on the page that should be added or optimized.
Review this report and take action on your site to improve it’s health.
The Internal links section will show a listing of all the internal links to the page you’re
analyzing from within its domain.
See specific parameters for each of these links like Alexa rank and how many backlinks
the linking pages have.
The External links section will show a listing of all the external links found for the page.
These can be sorted by follow, no follow, image links, text links, form links, and frames.
In the Density section, you can analyze the keyword density of all the words and short
phrases found on a webpage.
You’ll see the specific number of repeats, density percentage, and prominence percentage
for each word and phrase found, which gives valuable insight into understanding the semantics
and main topics of a website or page.
If you don’t want to waste your time browsing every site individually to get this information,
you can enter multiple domains at once with our compare URLs option.
You can get to this option from any web page by selecting the SEOquake icon, then clicking
on “compare urls” from the menu of the pop-out box.
Or, if you’re already in the SEOquake interface, you can select the “compare urls/domain”
option at the top.
This will take you to a page with a form where you can enter as many URLs as you would like
to analyze.
Add one per line and hit “process URLs” once you have finished.
In this form you can check up to 1,000 links at once.
You can always show or hide any of the parameters within SEOquake through the preferences section.
You can customize the interface to pull only the information you are most interested in
for your research.
Another application of SEOquake is identifying nofollow links.
Turn this option on in the settings menu by checking the box beside where it says “highlight
nofollow.”
Once selected, any nofollow links found on web pages you’re on will appear with a strikethrough
to indicate they are nofollow.
That just about sums up the basics of what this tool can do.
