While the Search Atlas dashboard is where strategy lives, most SEO work happens directly in the browser, analyzing SERPs, auditing pages, and exploring competitor sites.
The Search Atlas Chrome Extension V3 has been completely rebuilt to bring fast, accurate, and actionable SEO data directly into Google Chrome. It transforms everyday browsing into a real-time SEO workflow, eliminating friction between analysis and execution.

As soon as you land on any webpage with the extension enabled, two things happen automatically:

🟢 Green — The page is indexable and followable
🔴 Red — The page is marked as no-index
🟢🔴 Split — No-index but follow
This allows you to instantly detect critical issues—such as production pages accidentally left on no-index—before you even open the extension.
