Free SEO Chrome extension
A score out of 100, a letter grade from A to F and every issue it found, by name. Then 12 sections of checks, from page meta and indexability to structured data, Core Web Vitals and broken links, right in your browser. No account needed.
Free · No account · 12 categories · Chrome
01 WHAT’S FREE
All of it. Every check runs in your browser without an account, and there is no trial to run out. A free SEO Bandwagon account adds three things that need our servers.
SEO Bandwagon sells paid plans for rank tracking and SEO services. The extension isn't one of them.
02 INSTALL
Open the extension's Chrome Web Store listing and choose Add to Chrome. It costs nothing.
Open the puzzle-piece menu beside the address bar and pin SEO Bandwagon, so each page’s letter grade shows on its icon.
Open any page and click the icon, or press Cmd+Shift+S on a Mac and Ctrl+Shift+S on Windows. The score and the issues come first, then the sections listed further down this page.
03 WHAT IT CHECKS
The sections of its analysis, in the order the extension shows them, and what each one reads.
One click runs the page analysis. Indexability, the link check, hreflang return tags and the rendering comparison ask once for access to other sites, the first time you use them.
04 TOUR
Stop switching between five tabs and DevTools. The SEO Bandwagon extension runs live diagnostics right inside Chrome. Inspect Core Web Vitals, validate schema markup, and spot broken links with zero guesswork. Track local citations and verify your Name, Address, and Phone data across major directories. SEO tools that actually work. Install the free extension and start auditing in seconds.

06 QUESTIONS
Yes. There is no trial period and no upsell to see your results, and every check on the page runs without an account. The Citations tab and the stats under Google results use a free SEO Bandwagon account. If you want more than single-page checks, the site audit is free too, with a free account.
No. Every check on the page runs without signing in, and your analyses are kept on your device. Connecting a free SEO Bandwagon account is optional: it syncs your analyses to your dashboard, which a setting turns off, and turns on the Citations tab and the stats under Google results.
Without an account, the analysis runs on your device and the results stay there. The checks that read other pages (link check, indexability, hreflang return tags and rendering) request those pages from their own sites, without your cookies. On a Google results page, the bare domains of the results go to seobandwagon.com to look up its stats. Connect a free account and the extension also sends seobandwagon.com the address of each page you analyze, when you analyzed it, and what it found on the page (title, meta tags, headings, links, images and the names of its structured data types), which a setting turns off. It never sends the values inside your structured data, it sends nothing to anyone else, and nothing is sold.
It analyzes any page you can open in Chrome: your site, a competitor's site, a staging environment, a client prospect. It reads the rendered page in your browser, so it sees what you see, including content JavaScript added, and the Rendering check shows what the server sent before JavaScript ran. Like all extensions, it can't run on Chrome's internal pages or the Chrome Web Store itself.
It starts at 100 and takes points off for what it finds: a missing, short or long title or meta description, a missing or repeated H1, images without alt text, no canonical URL, no JSON-LD structured data, no Open Graph title, fewer than 600 words, fewer than three internal links, a very large DOM and hard-to-read text. Bigger problems cost more, so a missing title costs more than a long one. 90 and above is an A, 80 a B, 70 a C, 60 a D and anything lower an F. Core Web Vitals and the link, indexability and hreflang checks are reported beside the score, not counted in it.
Not yet. It is a Chrome extension, installed from the Chrome Web Store, and a Firefox or Safari version is not on its roadmap today.
Install it, open any page and click. When you want citations and your analyses on a dashboard, connect a free account on seobandwagon.com: sign in, then connect the extension from your dashboard in one click.
