I’m often surprised how often I talk to aspiring SEOs only to find out they aren’t taking advantage of the plethora of SEO Firefox plugins that exist at their disposal. Not only that, these plugins, when explained correctly, can often answer a handful of client questions freeing you up to do what you do best - optimize their site. So, with the above in mind, here’s my list of top 10 Firefox plugins for SEO:

Top Firefox Plugins for SEO:

  1. User Agent Switcher - This plugin will allow you to act like you are GoogleBot or another search engine spider via a menu and toolbar button. This is great for testing mobile sites. Tip* Make sure you clear your cookies and browser cache before using this.
