Introduction
Modern browsers are pretty advanced, so few people pay attention to adding extensions. However, add-ons give you many valuable functions and allow you to adapt the browser to your wishes, e.g.:
instant blocking of intrusive advertisements;
automatic text translation from other languages;
downloading data, even if the page does not intend to do so;
creation of reports and uploading of statistics;
password management: saving, generating and much more.
This article will look at business extensions and the new EasyWeek extension for the Chrome browser as an example.
The most important online marketing tools include SEO, conversion optimisation, content and email marketing and web analytics. Some of these tools are also available in the EasyWeek scheduling software. Please read our blog post on the best business analytics tools to learn more.
An online appointment system makes customer communication more convenient and efficient. The booking widget gives your customers access to a digital calendar with a clear list of your services, prices, appointments, and other details that might be important for your business. Check out our blog for an in-depth article on the correlation between installing booking software and successful customer retention.
The most common method is website builders such as Tilda or Wix, which contain many templates and are relatively easy to use. You could implement an online booking to the website later. Also, you can get a free website by signing up EasyWeek software.
Extensions for Business
What is an extension?
A Chrome extension is a plugin that enables integration with other services and adds specific features to your Google Chrome browser. This means that open web pages are changed depending on the extension type.
To add an extension to your Chrome browser, go to the Web Store, search for the add-on you want, click the "Add to Chrome" button and agree to data usage.
Chrome browser extensions for your business
Chrome extensions mainly include task and social media management, productivity at work, communication and entertainment in the office. Some examples of valuable add-ons for managers are:
Additor
This tool allows you to mark interesting parts of articles, blogs, videos and PDFs and collect them in one place. The extension also lets you bookmark entire articles.
Keeper
A data safe and password manager stores passwords and essential data such as passport numbers, driving licence or credit cards. Keeper also generates complex passwords.
Social Meter
Social Meter allows you to assess your online presence by opening your website and then clicking on a social network icon – the tool shows how often users of different media interact with your website. For example, Facebook, Reddit, LinkedIn, Twitter, Pinterest, and Google+ are available. In the same way, you can keep an eye on your competitors.
Nimbus
This Chrome extension is a feature-rich solution that takes screenshots of the entire web screen and the areas of the screen you select. Furthermore, you can easily edit captured screenshots with writing, cropping and painting tools to personalise them.
Hashtest
Add-on helps you choose better hashtags to increase the visibility of your business on social media. You type in terms and get an instant analysis that shows whether your hashtags are "good" or, on the other hand, "useless".
