Font Finder
You’re surfing the web and find a font that you’re in love with and need to use! But how do you know what font it is!? That’s where Font Finder comes in. This useful extension allows you to gain the CSS style of a selected page element.
Not only does this allow you to find out the font face of a website page, but it can also allow you to see the font style, color, and more, and copy it over with ease, thereby saving you time. This is a must-have for anyone looking to create a reliable brand image, or for those looking to move into graphic design for advertising and marketing.
Facebook Pixel Helper
This Chrome extension is specifically meant for use with Facebook pixels and allows you to troubleshoot using their detailed overview panel. Not only does this allow you to easily see warnings, errors, and successes attached to Facebook pixels, it can also help streamline crafting target audiences and help you easily track the successes (or failures) of an advertising campaign.
Another use for this tool is to check if Facebook Pixel is even installed (or installed correctly). With the extension installed, you’ll quickly see if a Pixel is installed on a website when the icon changes green.
Color Zilla
Back in the old days of the internet, finding the specific color used on a website meant taking a screenshot and then dropping the image into Microsoft Paint or another image editor. Now, Color Zilla allows you to not only grab colors from websites. Other handy features include a gradient generator, a color analyzer, and a palette viewer. The included color history option allows you to easily grab previously analyzed colors to help streamline website design and composition.
Detailed SEO Extension
This extension gives you detailed SEO information at the click of a button, all in a convenient sidebar. Detailed SEO Extension gives you tags, meta descriptions, and more all in one place, without needing to dig through the source code for more information. This allows you to scope out the competition or analyze base websites without balancing several tabs worth of information at once. If you’re looking for an app that can save you hours of research, this is a must-have for any marketing campaign or website design plan.
Grammarly
This extension helps perfect your grammar while catching common writing errors and providing composition suggestions along the way. One of the differences between the Grammarly extension and the document program is it applies to any text box, including emails, social media posts, and more. This allows you to double-check your composition and grammar before every post.
Hunter – Email Finder Extension
If you’ve ever struggled to find contact information on a website, this extension is a lifesaver. Not only does it track down the email address associated with the website itself, but it also shows all email addresses associated with the website, meaning you can gain verified email address insight for every website you visit, making contacting potential clients or business partners that much easier. You can also save each lead to a list, which can then be exported for use on other websites.
Keyword Surfer
This simple extension shows you keyword search volume as you use Google search. Not only does this allow you to collect keyword data and do research in one convenient location, but this extension is also 100% free, making it a must-have for SEO optimization. Each search includes cost per click (CPC) data, as well as related terms, on-page data, and more, all in one convenient location.
SEO Analysis & Website Review by WooRank
This tool allows you to analyze your website for SEO, usability, social media ranking, mobile, and more. SEO Analysis & Website Review does just what it says, allowing you to find potential problem areas and target them for improvement across your websites.
Similarweb – Traffic Rank & Website Analysis
Another website analysis tool, this extension allows you to scope out the competition, and check metrics like engagement, traffic ranking, traffic source, and more. You can also easily track your customers to find out key strategies for engagement and brand recognition. This extension streamlines the research portion of creating a marketing strategy, allowing you to access key metrics with the click of a button.
WAVE Evaluation Tool
This tool is a must-have for analyzing the accessibility of your website. While computer programming cannot process the full breadth of website accessibility, this Chrome extension factors in human feedback to point out places on your website that could be more accessible for users. The easy-to-interpret icon design and the human touch behind this extensions analysis both put it a key app for anyone designing or updating their website.
WhatRuns
