The Ubersuggest Chrome extension shows keyword and SEO data inside your browser while you search. On Google, YouTube and Amazon it adds search volume, paid and organic data and related keywords to the results page. On any website it shows estimated traffic, Domain Authority and backlinks. How many searches you get per day depends on your Ubersuggest plan, up to 900.

It is a quick way to size up a keyword or a competitor without opening a separate SEO tool.

What is the Ubersuggest Chrome extension?

Ubersuggest is an SEO tool from Neil Patel's company. Besides the web app, it now offers several add-ons: a Chrome extension, a WordPress plugin, a ChatGPT app and an MCP server for AI tools. Its newer features also track how brands appear in AI answers from ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews.

The Chrome extension is the browser add-on. Ubersuggest describes it as helping you with SEO and keyword strategy while you surf the web.

What does the extension show?

Keyword data on Google, YouTube and Amazon

When you search on Google, YouTube or Amazon, the extension adds a panel with:

  • Search volume for the keyword, split into mobile and desktop
  • Paid and organic data, such as cost per click and competition
  • Related keyword suggestions with their own data

That makes it useful beyond Google. YouTube and Amazon are search engines in their own right, and the extension lets you check demand for a video topic or a product category from the same place.

SEO data on any website

When you visit a website, the extension can show:

  • Estimated monthly traffic
  • Domain Authority, Ubersuggest's own score of a site's strength
  • Backlink data

This helps you size up a competitor, a guest post target or a potential partner in a few seconds. Remember that Domain Authority scores from SEO tools are the tools' own estimates, not Google metrics. Read more in our glossary entry on domain authority.

How do you use it for keyword research?

  1. Install the extension from the Chrome Web Store.
  2. Search your topic on Google. Note the volume and the cost per click. A high cost per click usually means advertisers find the keyword valuable.
  3. Open the related keywords. Look for longer, more specific phrases with lower competition. These long-tail keywords are often easier to rank for.
  4. Check the ranking sites. Use the website data to see how strong the current top results are.
  5. Repeat on YouTube or Amazon if video or product search matters to your business.
  6. Move promising keywords into your full research in the Ubersuggest web app or another tool.

What do users say about Ubersuggest?

On G2 and Capterra, reviewers most often praise:

The most common criticisms:

  • Data accuracy that some reviewers find weaker than more expensive tools

Is the Ubersuggest extension worth it?

It is worth installing if you already use Ubersuggest, or if you want quick keyword numbers while you browse and do not need the depth of a large SEO suite. Treat the numbers as directional. For decisions that matter, compare them with your own Google Search Console data.

What are the alternatives?

  • Keywords Everywhere: a browser extension for Chrome, Firefox and Edge that adds search volume, cost per click and competition data to Google, YouTube, Amazon and other sites.
  • Full SEO suites such as Semrush and Ahrefs, which offer deeper data at a higher price. See our Ubersuggest vs Semrush comparison.
