PRODUCT PREVIEW

One search page. One focused research workflow.

The extension places keyword, domain, page-health, and saved-research tools beside the page you are already using.

LESSON 1 OF 5

Install VisibleGen and pin it

Start from the official Chrome Web Store listing, then keep the extension within reach.

Do this
  1. Open the official VisibleGen listing in the Chrome Web Store.
  2. Choose “Add to Chrome” and review the permissions shown by Chrome.
  3. Open the Extensions menu and pin VisibleGen if you want its icon beside the address bar.
  4. Select the VisibleGen icon once to confirm the extension panel opens.

LESSON 3 OF 5

Review demand and choose the right market

Read the available keyword indicators in the market that matches your audience.

Do this
  1. Open the keyword research view for the phrase already in the search box.
  2. Review monthly search demand, CPC, and advertising competition when coverage is available.
  3. Open the market selector and choose the country you want to study.
  4. Treat the numbers as research estimates, not a promise of traffic or sales.
04
LESSON 4 OF 5

Compare the domains already ranking

Use the result page as a shortlist, then inspect the signals that help explain the competitive field.

Do this
  1. Select a result or use the comparison control beside a domain.
  2. Review available authority, estimated traffic, ranking-keyword, backlink, and referring-domain indicators.
  3. Compare at least three relevant results instead of judging the market from one website.
  4. Write down what deserves a closer look. A metric is a clue, not the reason a page ranks.
05
LESSON 5 OF 5

Check the page, save the finding, and export

Turn the search session into a small research collection you can return to later.

Do this
  1. Open a relevant result and run the public-page check or the local active-page audit.
  2. Review the title, description, headings, canonical, robots rules, links, images, and structured data that are available.
  3. Save the useful domain or keyword to your local collection.
  4. Export the collection as CSV when you are ready to share or continue the work elsewhere.
QUICK FIXES

When the screen does not match the lesson.

Start with the simplest check. Do not treat missing coverage as a zero.

01

The research panel does not appear

Open VisibleGen Settings and confirm that search panels are enabled. Reload the supported search page after changing the setting.

02

A metric says unavailable

Coverage can vary by domain, keyword, market, and service. Keep unavailable data separate from a measured zero.

03

Guest previews are finished for today

Guest mode includes 15 domain previews per browser each day. Connect a free account for connected metrics without that daily preview-count limit; other limits still apply.

04

The page check looks incomplete

Try the rendered active-page audit for the page currently open. Some public checks cannot see content that appears only after scripts run or after a login.
