Today we’re excited to announce the BuzzMarker for Chrome.
We’ve reinvented the BuzzMarker as a Chrome extension – and now you can take your BuzzStream account with you, everywhere you go on the web.
If you’re anything like me, you want to start playing with it already. You can download the BuzzMarker for Chrome and start using it now. You can also download it from the Chrome Web Store.
With the BuzzMarker for Chrome, you can:
- Easily Add Websites, People, and Links to BuzzStream, Without Ever Leaving The Site You’re On
- Know What (and Who) Your Team Knows
- Flip Through New Opportunities from Lists & Prospecting Tools, Keeping Only the Best Ones
Adding People, Links, Websites, and Notes
Now it’s even easier to add people, websites, and links to your BuzzStream account.
Like the original BuzzMarker, you can add sites to BuzzStream with one click. With the BuzzMarker for Chrome, you can also add links, people, notes, and tags. And you can do it all on one screen, while you research the site, so you don’t have to switch between different windows or tabs.
You can view current contact details from the BuzzMarker, too. You can look at your team’s email and social history with websites, check out bios and contact info, figure out which projects the contact is in, and look through author bios to find the best person for outreach. You can update and add notes, authors, and links as needed. And again, you can do it all without ever leaving the site you’re on.
Know What Your Team Knows
Often you’ll find a great prospect site and learn the hard way that someone else on your team has already been in touch with that person, often for another project. This can lead to embarrassing mistakes.
Imagine what could happen if you knew about that relationship in advance – the exciting opportunities you could find by leveraging your entire team’s outreach history. The BuzzMarker for Chrome lets you do exactly that.
You can see your team’s history with a website or person, simply by clicking on the BuzzMarker for Chrome. You can check whether websites and people are in other BuzzStream projects and view your colleagues’ history with those influencers, all from the extension.
Now you can also use the BuzzMarker’s contact highlighter to view lists and see which opportunities are in your BuzzStream project already, which ones are in another project, and which you haven’t contacted yet – so you never spend time with a site someone else on your team already knows.
Faster, Better Prospecting
There are tons of great tools out there that provide excellent lists of marketing and outreach prospects. With the BuzzMarker for Chrome, it’s easy to browse through those opportunities and pick the best ones.
The BuzzMarker’s contact highlighter can help you quickly figure out who your team already knows and which opportunities are new, saving you hours of research.
And with the new list browser, you can flip through results from the prospecting tools you know and love – everything from Google SERPs to link data tools like Open Site Explorer and AHrefs to new players like BuzzSumo – to find great opportunities quickly and efficiently.

Not convinced yet? We beta tested the BuzzMarker with some of the best in the industry. Check out what they had to say:
“I had been waiting a long time for a new feature from Buzzstream, one of my favorite link building tools (if you follow me, you know how much I love it), and they finally released it today. I’ve had to contain my excitement while beta testing it, but now that it’s live, it’s scaled my entire prospecting workflow [through it].”
“I’ve been using Buzzstream to build relationships successfully for the past 2 years. With the chrome extension, my efforts are turbocharged and I can visually see who is in my network and add those who aren’t in my database on the fly.”
“The BuzzMarker has gotten more dynamic with this extension. It has more on-demand functionality, allowing you to add contacts and prospect information through appearing in the browser. It’s even more powerful in the search listings themselves. I’m not one for change, but this was a great one easily leading to better efficiency. Easily one of my top SEO extensions.”
“My favorite thing about the new Buzzmarker is that it lets you do everything you need while still on the same tab. I have so many pages and tabs open a day that I honestly start to lose track. With the Buzzmarker you can keep it open as you explore the whole site. The BuzzMarker can then search for contact info on those pages you’re exploring while you look for the contact info that isn’t clickable. It’s like having a clone of yourself doing double the grunt work.“
If you have a BuzzStream account, you can download the BuzzMarker for Chrome and start using it today. And if you don’t yet have a BuzzStream account, you can sign up for one here.

Hi,
How do I look for Whois in using Buzzmark tool for chorme.?
Thanks,
Uday
Hi Uday,
WhoIs lookups aren’t supported in the current version of the BuzzMarker for Chrome. You can do WhoIs lookups in the old BuzzMarker, and in the app itself once you’ve added contacts with the BuzzMarker for Chrome.
thanks
matt
Thank you – what an amazing tool. I am a bit Chrome-blind as I prefer Firefox and thus have so much set up in Firefox and a lot of plugins I use there are not available for Chrome – do you plan to add this to Firefox too?
Hey James,
We actually just added outreach to the BuzzMarker in our newest release: https://www.buzzstream.com/blog/outreach-buzzmarker-chrome.html
thanks

Looks great, Matt! Thanks to the BuzzStream team for making our lives easier!
Really enjoying this tool! Great job!
Thanks Vanessa! Glad you’re enjoying it.
This is great – I can see how this could really speed up the prospecting process. Two quick questions:
1) Really like the new flat green and black look – will we be seeing the same style coming to the main tool?
2) You’ve probably already thought of it, but could you add the ability to send an email directly from the Buzzmarker? I often find a prospect that I want to catalog and email immediately, which means leaving a Buzzstream tab open and then finding the new prospect in Buzzstream. To be able to send an email directly from the Buzzmarker (similar to how the Buzzbar works) would save a ton of time!
Great update!
Hey James,
Thanks for stopping by and the feedback.
Re: your questions, outreach from the BuzzMarker is definitely on our list – it’s great to be able to connect with influencers without leaving their site.
Re: question 1, that’s not in our short or medium-term plans, but it’s certainly something we might do in the further future.
thanks

Hi Matt.

Cheers
John
Hi John,
Thanks! Glad it’s helpful for you.
We’re still working out the next release but I’ll make sure your idea for tasks in the Chrome extension gets in front of our product team.

Great to see this tool available! I was able to see Paul May demo it while still in beta at a conference in Utah. Looking forward to implementing this tool for SEO!
And one more thank you for mentioning BuzzSumo – haven’t heard of it before. Have you got any plans to make it part of BuzzStream? This would be really great! We are using your tool for social media outreach, so BuzzSumo’s functionality is the missing part of the process inside of BuzzStream.
Hi Uliana,
Right now you can use BuzzSumo with BuzzStream through the list browser in the Chrome extension.
We’re working with them on some other stuff at the moment, so we hope to do more together in the future.
thanks
matt

Thanks for your hard work guys!
This is simply awesome! Thank you, guys 😉
