SEO is a process that always requires lots of time. That’s why every marketer or businessman who is engaged in search engine optimization needs time-saving tools and solutions to automate and boost performance.

After years of development, progress has brought around such a wonderful technical invention for browsers as the toolbar. Nowadays, there’s hardly anyone in the digital realm who doesn’t know what a toolbar is but let’s have a look at the definition that Wikipedia provides anyway:

“Toolbar is a graphical control element on which on-screen buttons, icons, menus, or other input or output elements are placed.”

Luckily, today, we have a variety of free and paid SEO toolbars that will make your SEO work more efficient and save you time.
