Why Growth Stalls
Why great extensions still run out of installs.
Shipping a great extension doesn't fill the funnel. Here are the four leaks that stall extension growth — and how we plug them.
-
Your store listing gets browsed, not installed
Traffic reaches your Chrome Web Store page, but a generic icon, screenshots, and description don't earn the “Add to Chrome” click.
-
Installs are cheap, but users uninstall fast
A scary permission prompt or a confusing first run, and people remove the extension before it ever proves its value.
-
Free users install, then never upgrade to Pro
Most free installs never see what the paid tier actually does.
-
People search for a tool like yours, and a competitor gets the install
People read “best chrome extension for X” roundups, comparison threads, and ask AI chat before they install anything.

Upgrade
Proof, not promises
Track every install, activation, and dollar.
One dashboard shows how every channel turns into installs, active users, and paying upgrades — so you always know your real cost per user and what to scale next.
Installs & Activation Turn installs into active users
Every install is captured, tagged with its source, and tracked to its first real use the moment it happens. Nothing sits unmeasured, and no install or ad dollar slips through untracked.
Every install traced to its source
See which campaign, keyword, or channel produced each install — so budget moves to what actually brings users who stick around.
Activation tracking built in
See how many installs reach their first real use and where they drop off, so onboarding keeps getting better.
Cost Per User See your real cost per paying user
Every paying upgrade is connected back to the campaign that produced it. You see true cost per install and cost per paying user by channel — and invest where the numbers actually work.
True cost per paying user
Ad spend, installs, and upgrades tied together — so you always know what a paying user costs, and which way that number is moving.
Channel-level performance
Google, organic, and referral traffic tracked separately, so you can see which channel brings the users who stay and pay.
Retention & Conversion Lift your free-to-paid rate
Most extension revenue is won or lost between install and upgrade. We track retention, spot where users go quiet, and show which onboarding steps and emails move the free-to-paid rate.
Retention tracking
See how many users are still active on day 1, 7, and 30, and which onboarding flows create users who keep the extension installed.
Free-to-paid conversion
Every install is followed to its paid outcome, so you know which campaigns and nurtures produce upgrades that stick — not just downloads.
Reviews & Ratings Turn happy users into proof
Chrome Web Store ratings tip both conversion and ranking. We prompt happy users at the right moment and put that proof where it wins the install.
Chrome Web Store review engine
Happy users get a well-timed prompt to rate you on the Chrome Web Store — a steady stream of fresh proof that wins the install.
Every new review in one view
New ratings and reviews land in one view, so you can reply fast and protect your average.

Straight answers
Marketing for chrome extensions, without the mystery
Our pricing is public and simple. Google Ads management is 10% of your ad budget with a $600-a-month minimum, and your full budget goes to media — no markup from us. SEO content runs $50 a page, starting at 10 pages a month. If you need a new landing page or website, custom websites are eight one-time packages from $1,500 to $20,000+ (see /websites for details). Setup is $0, everything is month-to-month with no contract, and a 30-day guarantee means if you're not happy, you don't pay. Tell us about your extension and we'll send exact pricing in a free proposal within one business day.
If installs are cheap but users uninstall fast, free users never upgrade to Pro, or growth still depends on one lucky Product Hunt launch, yes — closing one of those leaks usually covers the fee. We handle the store listing, paid and organic acquisition, and onboarding email so you can stay focused on the product. If installs are already growing and converting on their own, keep that engine running.
It owns every channel that produces installs, active users, and paying upgrades. SearchPod builds your Chrome Web Store listing and landing page, runs Google campaigns aimed at ready-to-install users, wins the category and AI-search queries people use to find a tool like yours, and automates onboarding and upgrade email — one team, one funnel.
Look for proof they know extensions: do they optimize for installs and activation or just clicks, can they trace an install to cost per paying user, and do they understand how Chrome Web Store search actually ranks listings? Then check ownership — your store listing, ad accounts, and data should stay in your name. Ask any candidate how they'd lift your free-to-paid rate; a vague answer tells you everything.
Paid campaigns usually produce the first installs within a few weeks. Rankings for category and “best chrome extension for X” searches take a few months to build, then keep compounding. Lifecycle email starts lifting your free-to-paid rate from week one — so revenue grows while organic catches up.
We run the whole funnel — store listing, paid acquisition, SEO, AI search, and lifecycle email — so nothing falls between vendors, and we're judged on installs, activation, and paying upgrades, not raw download counts. Pricing is public, contracts are month-to-month, and your store listing, ad accounts, analytics, and user data stay yours from day one.
Yes. We build a review-generation flow that prompts happy, active users to rate you on the Chrome Web Store at the right moment — after they've had a real win with the extension, not on first install. A stronger rating lifts both trust and how you rank inside the store's own search.
On active, paying users — never raw download counts. We optimize the store listing and campaigns for installs that stick, then connect every install back to the campaign that produced it, so you can see your true cost per install, your free-to-paid rate, and the revenue behind each channel.
Yes. Most Chrome extensions charge through their own website rather than the store, so we build the upgrade path — pricing page, checkout, and the lifecycle emails that move a free user to Pro — as part of the same system that drives installs.
Yes. Everything lives in accounts your company owns — your Chrome Web Store developer account, ad accounts, analytics, and user data. We're month-to-month, and if you ever leave, it all simply stays where it is.
We don't run your launch day for you — that stays founder-led by design. But we build the landing page, tracking, and follow-up email that turn a launch-day spike into installs that actually stick, so the traffic doesn't just disappear once the launch is over.
Most extension landing pages and sites go live in about 2–4 weeks. The pace mostly depends on how fast we get your product story, screenshots, and feedback — you'll have a clear timeline before we start.
