Speed up Your SEO Tasks with Ubiquity FireFox Addon

Speed up Your SEO Tasks with Ubiquity FireFox Addon

Ubiquity is an awesome FireFox addon that enables you to quicker access and complete multiple tasks you do daily. While it can be useful for overall daily browsing, this post focuses on how it can help search marketers in particular.

Ubiquity Basics

First, let me briefly describe the installation and usage process: install the addon and re-start FireFox. Now, try using it: use CTRL+Space shortcut (if you use Windows; option-space on the Mac and alt-space on Linux) and start typing anything in the command in-put box: you will see the tool trying to “guess” your task.

Example: start typing Google and you will have two options:

  • Click <Enter> to be taken to Google home page to search;
  • Keep typing [google seo] to preview search results (and thus to be relieved of the need to load SERPs)

Ubiquity: google search

There are plenty of built-in commands (from translating to instant weather forecast) which are pretty well described in the official wiki. What’s more, you can add more commands or (if you are tech-savvy enough) to develop your own commands.

Useful Ubiquity Commands

To showcase how powerful the tool might be, let me show you a few useful commands written by independent developers.

Google Trends with preview

Just type trends (term) to instantly see Google trends graph:

Installing Ubiquity Commands

To install any of the above command, navigate to the command page with Ubiquity installed and notice this message pop up:

Ubiquity subscribe

Click “Subscribe” and don’t get scared of the red screen that opens:

Ubiquity subscribe

Go ahead, follow the instructions (look through the JavaScript code to make sure it is fine and click “Subscribe“)

If you ever want to unsubscribe from any of the installed commands, you can use the “list” Ubiquity command at any time to get to the command management page where you can see all commands which you are subscribed to, and cancel any that you no longer want.
