Is the Rankfinity Chrome extension free?
Yes. Reading the page is free and needs no account. The Rankfinity audit is free too: without an account it shows every issue title, and a free account shows the details of every one. A free account also unlocks the AI brand check, with a daily allowance.
What does the SEO Chrome extension check?
The title and meta description with their lengths, the headings outline, canonical, robots and noindex tags, structured data types, images without alt text, internal, external and nofollow links, word count, Open Graph tags and local business markup. On click it also checks AI crawler access and the response headers.
How does it read the page?
It reads the page that is already open in your tab: the code your browser has already loaded. It does not crawl the site and makes no extra request to it for the basic checks, so results appear in about a second.
Does it send my browsing to Rankfinity?
No. Page content is never sent. The page address goes to Rankfinity only when you click Run audit or Run free AI check, and the panel fetches its settings when it opens. The Google results bar looks up Domain Rating by domain name only. The extension does not keep or send your browsing history.
What if a page needs a login or blocks bots?
The extension then audits what your browser saw and labels it As seen in your browser. Anything it could not measure, such as the response headers, is marked Not measured instead of being guessed.
Does it work on Google results?
Yes, if you turn it on. A bar above Google results sums up the page (AI Overview, featured snippet, People also ask, ads and where your site ranks) and marks each result with its title and description length, rich results. It works without an account, and Chrome asks for google.com access only when you turn it on.
Do I need an account?
No, for the on-page checks, the fix list, the Google results bar and the Business Profile tile. A free account adds the details of every audit issue, draft fixes for all of them, the AI brand check and rank tracking in Rankfinity.
Can I get the full report by email?
Yes. Enter your address in the Audit view, then confirm it from the email we send. We send the report only after you confirm, and the confirmation page shows it too.
Does the Business Profile tile change my profile?
No. The tile reads your profile from the Google page in your browser and shows what to improve. Its buttons only open Google's own controls; you make any change on Google yourself.
When can I install it?
The Chrome Web Store listing is not live yet. When it is, the Add to Chrome button on this page installs the extension. Until then you can create a free Rankfinity account to use the web app.
