- There are a lot of Chrome extensions out there
that most marketers don't use.
I'm actually surprised by how few of my friends
and colleagues take advantage of chrome extensions
that can help them with their marketing
and traffic generation.
Hey everyone, I'm Neil Patel,
and today I'm going to share nine
amazing Google Chrome extensions
that'll improve your traffic.
(upbeat techno music)
Before we get started, make sure you subscribe
to this channel.
And if you're on YouTube click the alert notification,
that way when I go live you'll get notified.
The first Chrome extension I have for you is SEOquake.
This is a great tool for understanding
what your competition is ranking for
in their organic search results.
It also gives you a great idea as to what is displayed,
and what paid ads your competitors are running,
and which key words they are targeting.
They also have a surp popover feature that shows
you the domain and page level metrics
for the ranking results.
And if you click on a link when browsing a website,
you'll be able to see the ads they're running.
Now, the second Chrome extension I have for you
is the MozBar.
It provides details like link date analysis,
domain authority, it also has a page analysis feature
that allows you to get a review of the title,
the description, and even the https://www.schema.org
mark-up of a page, and they have many
more page level features as well.
They also have link metrics,
and that shows you page authority, domain authority
which I already mentioned, and the number
of linking boot domains to any given page
that you're searching.
The third Chrome extension is a BuzzStream BuzzMarker.
It's an amazing tool for outreach, networking,
guest posting and link building.
This will crawl any site that you visit
and pull out the contact details for the people associated
with the site; this will help you
find editors, reporters, content marketers.
I love using this when I'm on a news website
or a big, heavy content website and I'm trying
to figure out who I can reach out to
when I want to either build a link,
and I'm trying to convince them to link to me,
or I'm trying to figure out who the editor is
because I want to contribute a guest post.
The next extension, TubeBuddy.
Amazing extension for your video marketing strategy.
When you're viewing any video on YouTube,
it'll show you the tags, the view counts, and so much more.
Even better, when you upload your own video
it'll help suggest tags to you,
and help you optimize the metadata associated
with the video that you just uploaded.
This is really important, because when you're uploading
a video, even though I have tools like Ubersuggest,
which I provide for free, do you really want
to keep going back to Ubersuggest,
or any other keyword research tool, and manu figure out
and then go back to YouTube and then go input that data?
No, you want it all right there, and that extension
will help you do that.
The fifth extension I have for you is Buffer.
This is great for personal branding
and growing your authority
as you can seamlessly post content to your followers
as you browd and read your favorite blogs.
So when I'm on a site, let's say https://www.NeilPatel.com,
I like something, through the Buffer Chrome extension
I can click a button and it can go and get shared out
to all my social profiles.
Not only does that help me keep up-to-date
with all my social media profiles,
but it allows me to keep building all my audience
on all these social platforms,
without really doing much work.
A lot of people are like, "Oh, I got to update my
"Twitter profile, my Facebook, I got to keep going to
"all these platforms and manually put in content."
Wouldn't it just be easier if you're just reading
content, you click a button, and boom,
you can schedule it for later and it goes
into your promotional calendar.
Well, you can do that with the Buffer extension.
The sixth extension I have for you is Grammarly.
It's actually my favorite extension, period,
on Chrome, altogether.
The reason I love this is
when I'm doing marketing-based emails, or any work,
and I do a ton through my email inbox,
or even I'm writing a blog post in WordPress,
it'll tell me any spelling mistakes.
Now, Grammarly does have a paid version as well.
I use the free one.
The free one gives you enough value
where you can figure out what changes you need to make
to have amazing grammar and no spelling issues.
Heck, I myself type up my blog posts in Microsoft Word,
and when I copy and paste them over into WordPress,
I find that Grammarly catches errors
that Microsoft Word doesn't even catch.
It's so much better, you guys have to check out
that plug-in.
The seventh extension that you got to check out
is BuzzSumo.
It's an amazing extension for content creators.
It'll give you idea of what content works in your niche.
For example, any page you visit,
let's say a competitor's site, it'll tell ya
the social media engagement, how many social shares,
unique page use, and other items like that,
and even backlinks.
It helps you target, in real time,
what type of content you should be producing
versus what type of content you shouldn't be producing.
The eighth Chrome extension I have for you
is Save to Pocket.
This is super important in a roll
where there's endless amount of information.
It's easy to get distracted while researching
for your next article, or building out
your content strategy.
Having a browser with dozens of tabs open
can be distracting and hurt your productivity.
For content creators and folks with large social followings
this is also a great tool for you,
because you can save amazing content
that you'll want to share later on with your audience.
And, last but not least, a Chrome extension
that you should use is Check My Links.
This tool is essential for a link building strategy.
It'll show you which links are working properly,
and which ones are broken for any page that you visit.
Let's say that you're on a page
of someone linking to a competitor,
and that link is broken.
Wouldn't you want to hit them up and convince them
to link back to you?
That's why you want to do this.
Broken links is one of the easiest and simplest ways
to convince people to link to you,
and this extension will help you
find all those broken link opportunities.
