What Are The Benefits Of Using A Chrome Extension for Digital Marketing?
Extensions are little programs that help you improve your experience with the chrome browser or any other browser of your choice. They are written in HTML, CSS or Javascript. Chrome extensions can help you improve your productivity. Some of the extensions can even make your browse the web faster or reduce the usage of your memory.
Briskine (formerly Gorgias Templates)
Our list starts with Briskine, formerly Gorgias Templates. A great tool to save your email templates. Are you receiving similar questions each day and you are writing every time the same answer. Even better, you look for the old email and copy & paste your previous answers?
With Briskine, this is over. You can save your templates with a shortcode there. Now each time you respond to an email and you have a suitable template, you use your set keyword and hit the TAB button. Taaadaaa! There you go.
Your template just popped up. It is a surprise that it only has around 100,000 users. It could be a million. You can even share your templates with other colleagues at work. This will provide a more efficient workflow at your place. (Gorgias itself now makes customer support software, not email templates.) Install
Grammarly
I would not know what to do if I don’t have this chrome extension. As a non-native speaker, it helps me create easy to read sentences.
It displays my grammar errors or simple spelling mistakes. Nearly everywhere Grammarly will automatically check your writing.
It displays you a recommendation on how to fix and why the grammar is wrong. Today it can also use AI to suggest clearer phrasing and tone. Install
Nimbus (now FuseBase)
Do you need a quick screenshot a website or maybe just from a selected area? Did you hit “Print Screen” button and opened paint before? Cropping the picture and save the file?
With Nimbus Screenshot, now part of FuseBase from the same company, this time-consuming process has an end. With simple clicks, you can have your screenshot saved within seconds.
You can even write down comments and draw smileys if you wish. It even offers you a simple record option of your screen. It is a must-have if you browse a lot and need to take pictures. Install
Email Hunter (now Hunter)
What a tool! I love it! Hunter is able to find an email from anywhere on the web with one simple click. How many times did it happen to you that you just wanted to know the contact email of a website?
Probably it was hard to find or maybe it was not there at all. Hunter will give you an email back within seconds. It even tries to verify it and lets you know the confidence level of how likely the email is still working. This chrome extension even works wonders on LinkedIn.
Only Premium Members of Linkedin can send InMail to people outside their network. Hunter will easily detect the email and you can contact them easily. Hunter is free for up to 50 email requests per month. Install
URL Builder
This is a chrome extension to Google Analytics URL Builder which lets you easily set up tracked url’s for your analytics campaign. It automatically reads the current displayed URL from the website that you are visiting.
All you need to enter are the information for the campaign name, the source, and the medium. It will then complete your tracking url that you can spread around. Have fun calculating the efficiency of your marketing activities. Install
Boomerang
Let’s be honest here. As a marketing person, you are likely to send out quite a few emails each day. It is not easy to keep track of all conversations and you want to make sure that you get answers or reply to everyone back.
With the Boomerang chrome extension, you can set alerts at what day and time you want to be notified if you have not received an answer. You can even schedule certain emails that will be automatically sent out even if you are not online.
Last but not least, it provides you with the feature to clean up your inbox and sent back email that you have received before. This will avoid you forgetting answering anybody. Install
SEO Quake
SEO Quake is a great extension for your chrome browser if you want a quick overview of the seo metrics of a website.
It allows you to create a complete audit which includes the keyword density, the amount of internal and external backlinks. You can either get a full report on the whole website or just specific websites. Install
One Tab
Any kind of research on the internet usually ends up with many, many open tabs in your browser. You are looking at the small favicon and the first word to figure out if that is the right tab. You start clicking from tab to tab. That is no fun at all.
One Tab is your solution to this problem. With one click, all your open tabs will be converted into a list in one tab. You can easily access the tab again by restoring it. It not only keeps your Chrome browser clean, but also has the neat side benefit of reducing the memory usage. Install
You just killed two birds with one stone. Great!
Tag Assistant
If your campaign numbers ever look wrong, the tracking tags are usually why. Tag Assistant is Google’s own extension and shows you which Google tags (Analytics, Ads, Tag Manager) fire on a page and what data they send.
It is the quickest way to check your tracking is actually working before you trust the numbers it gives you. Install
Detailed SEO Extension
Click the icon on any page and it pulls up the title tag, meta description, meta robots tag and much more, without you digging through the source code.
It is the fastest way to check a page after you publish it, or to see how a competitor has set theirs up. It is free. Install
From the original 2016 list: Page Analytics by Google is no longer available, and Pocket was shut down by Mozilla in 2025 (Chrome’s built-in reading list does the same job), so we’ve swapped them for Tag Assistant and Detailed SEO Extension.
All these tools we selected to help you on this fascinating journey – How to become a digital marketer.
