Facts checked November 4, 2026 · First written by Mutuo Mbilla
The short answer
SEO Minion is a free sidebar for Chrome, Firefox and Edge from the team behind Keywords Everywhere. On the page you're viewing it reads meta tags and headings, checks every link, follows redirect chains and validates hreflang tags and structured data. On Google it previews your snippet against pixel limits, compares one search in two locations and pulls People Also Ask questions as a list or tree. It shows no keyword volumes and has no site crawler, so pair it with other tools for research and full audits.
Choose it if
- You review one page at a time and want its title, description, headings, canonical and robots tags in one panel
- You look after a multilingual site and need to check hreflang tags, return tags and x-default
- You want to compare the same Google search in two countries or languages side by side
- You collect People Also Ask questions for content briefs and want them as a list or a tree
- You want a free tool that needs no account or API key
Skip it if
- You need to crawl a whole site and get sitewide reports; SEO Minion lists no crawler or scheduled audits
- You need search volume, CPC or backlink data, which SEO Minion doesn't show
- You work in Safari
- You want a tool with chat or phone support; help comes by email
- You need rank tracking over time

Questions people ask
Is SEO Minion free?
Yes. SEO Minion launched as a free tool, was limited to Keywords Everywhere's Silver, Gold and Platinum customers from June 2023, and is free for everyone again. It needs no account and no API key. The Chrome Web Store and Edge Add-ons descriptions still mention the paid setup, so go by the vendor's own page.
Who owns SEO Minion?
The team behind Keywords Everywhere, based in Mumbai, India. The old seominion.com address now redirects to SEO Minion's page on the Keywords Everywhere site.
Which browsers does SEO Minion support?
Chrome, Firefox and Edge, each from its own browser store. There is no Safari version.
How do I open SEO Minion?
Click its icon in the toolbar or press Alt+Shift+S on any page, then pick a tool from the sidebar. Chrome hides new extensions behind the puzzle-piece icon, so pin SEO Minion to keep the icon visible. The Google and Bing widgets appear on results pages by themselves.
Why does Chrome say SEO Minion can read and change all my data on websites?
The on-page analysis reads the HTML of whatever page you run it on, and Chrome describes that access with its standard warning. SEO Minion says it reads a page only when you use a feature on it.
Can SEO Minion audit a whole website?
Not as a crawl. Its tools work on the page or results page you have open. For a full crawl, a desktop crawler such as Screaming Frog SEO Spider checks up to 500 URLs free.
Does SEO Minion work in incognito mode?
Yes, once you allow it. Right-click the icon, choose Manage extension and turn on Allow in incognito.
