How to Highlight Competitor Websites in Google Search?
To highlight your favorite and competitor websites in Google Search, visit the link at the end of this article and add this extension to your Google Chrome browser. You can also use it with other browsers that have support for Chrome extensions such as Opera, Brave, Yandex, Kiwi, etc.
After adding the extension, click it from the menu bar of the browser and it shows you an option to Add/Edit Websites along with On/Off switch. Click the Add/Edit Websites option and it opens the extension settings where you can add the websites which you want to highlight in Google Search. Now, this extension has two modes; Competitor Mode and Favorite Mode.
Competitor Mode
The Competitor Mode is to highlight both, your favorite and competitor websites. In this mode, you get two sections to add favorite and competitor websites. Enter the websites you want to highlight in the respective section. Only enter the domain name without HTTP or HTTLS and any slashes. This way, you can add as many websites as you want in both sections. After adding the websites, click the Save button to save the websites.
Here is an example of Competitor Mode. As you can see, it highlights the favorite websites with green color and competitor websites with red color. It also shows you an icon in front of each website which you can hide from the extension settings if you want.
Favorites Mode
The Favorite Mode is to highlight your favorite websites only. You can switch this mode from the top of the extension settings page. It gives you a single section to add your favorite websites only. Simply add the websites to this section in the same way as in Competitor Mode and click the Save button to save the website list.
Here is an example of the Favorite Mode. As you can see in the above-attached screenshot, it highlights all the websites you added to your favorite list. This mode is convenient to find your favorites websites easily in Goole Search.
This extension currently supports Google search engine only. It works on the following Google Search TLDs:
