7 Useful and Best Google Chrome Extensions for Bloggers in 2020

SEOquake:

The first Chrome extension 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 keywords they are targeting.

 They also have a slurp 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. 

 MozBar:

The second best Chrome extension for bloggers 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 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.

BuzzStream BuzzMarker:

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.

Grammarly:

The fourth extension 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.

BuzzSumo:

The fifth extension that you got to check out is BuzzSumo. It's an amazing extension for content creators. It'll give you an 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.

Save to Pocket:

The sixth Chrome extension is Save to Pocket. This is super important in a role where there's an 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.

Check My Links:

Last but not least, the seventh Chrome extension 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 are 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.
