What Should Marketers Look For In A Chrome Extension?

Marketers should look for web extensions in Chrome that have the following aspects:

• Time Saving: If an extension saves you time on a workflow, it’s well worth it. Time is money, and the ability to deliver quality results in less time will make clients happier and your bank account grow.

• Reputable: You want to see that others are already using the extension. Nothing wrong with experimenting, but you don’t want to be a guinea pig when it comes to generating marketing results.

• Daily Usage: Sure, you could install every Chrome extension under the sun if you wanted to. But when thinking about which ones to use, aim to install only those that you see yourself using daily.

• Leverage: When you look at repetitive tasks in your daily life, what comes up? Anything that takes a mundane task and automates it will free up your focus to brainstorm bigger ideas.

In conclusion

You don’t need to use every single one of these extensions in our list. However, picking a few that are relevant to your job and figuring out how they work for you will save you time in the long run. Good luck!
