Installation

Get the Glippy Chrome Extension installed and run your first GEO scan in under a minute.

Requirements

• Google Chrome (version 88 or higher) or any Chromium-based browser (Edge, Brave, Arc, Opera)
• No account required — Glippy works out of the box

Install from Chrome Web Store

1. Visit the Glippy Chrome Web Store listing
2. Click the "Add to Chrome" button
3. In the confirmation dialog, click "Add extension"
4. You'll see a notification confirming Glippy has been added

Pin to toolbar

For quick access, pin Glippy to your browser toolbar:

1. Click the puzzle piece icon (Extensions) in your browser toolbar
2. Find Glippy in the list
3. Click the pin icon next to it
4. The Glippy icon will now appear permanently in your toolbar

Your first scan

1. Navigate to any webpage you want to analyze
2. Click the Glippy icon in your toolbar
3. Glippy will automatically scan the page and display your GEO score

The scan runs entirely in your browser — no data is sent to any server. Results appear in a few seconds.

Understanding your results

After scanning, Glippy shows you:

• Overall GEO Score — A number from 0 to 100 displayed in a circular ring
• Letter Grade — A (90-100), B (80-89), C (70-79), D (60-69), F (below 60)
• Page Type — Automatically detected (article, product, homepage, etc.)
• 10 Category Scores — Each category shows its own score and can be expanded to see individual check results
• Check Status Indicators:
  • Pass (green) — Check passed successfully
  • Warn (yellow) — Partial compliance, room for improvement
  • Fail (red) — Check failed, action recommended
  • Info (blue) — Informational, no action needed

Troubleshooting

Extension icon is greyed out

Glippy cannot run on certain pages:

• Chrome internal pages (chrome://, chrome-extension://)
• The Chrome Web Store itself
• New Tab page

Navigate to a regular webpage and try again.

Scan shows no results

If the popup opens but no results appear:

1. Make sure the page has fully loaded before clicking Glippy
2. Try refreshing the page and scanning again
3. Check if the page uses heavy JavaScript rendering — Glippy analyzes the rendered DOM, so wait for content to appear

Permission errors

Glippy needs permission to read the current page content for analysis. If you see a permission error:

1. Click the puzzle piece icon in your toolbar
2. Click the three dots next to Glippy
3. Select "Manage extension"
4. Ensure "Allow access to file URLs" is enabled if you're analyzing local files
