Chrome extensions for market recognition & SEO workflows

Why Manifest V3 browser extensions are a sharp wedge for SEO, AEO, and internal tooling — and how we ship store-ready products.

Browser extensions sit where work already happens: the tab.

That makes them ideal for market recognition, SEO audits, citation checks, and operator tooling — without forcing another dashboard login.

Why Manifest V3 matters

Manifest V3 changes permissions, background execution, and review expectations. Store-ready extensions need:

  • Tight permission scopes
  • Reliable service workers
  • Clean content-script boundaries
  • Privacy-respecting data flows
  • Maintainable UI for daily use

Product vs internal tool

  • Internal: speed + security inside your team
  • Public/store: review readiness, onboarding, billing, abuse controls

AppTime Cite is our product wedge: citation and recognition signals in-browser. We also build custom extensions for clients who need a different operator surface.
