NexoPad: your marketing copy, ready on any website
Marketing involves lots of repeated text: the structure of a post, each campaign's hashtags, replies to comments or messages. With NexoPad you save them with shortcuts and variables. For example, with /post it asks for the news, the benefit and the hashtag, and writes the post in your scheduling tool.
With NexoPad's AI you can also select a text and shorten it, make it friendlier or translate it for your international channels.
How to choose your marketing extensions
- Choose based on your daily work: SEO, social media, design or analytics.
- One tool of each type is usually enough.
- Disable the ones you only use occasionally to keep your browser light.
- Save your campaign copy so the whole team uses the same tone. More ideas in the best productivity extensions for Chrome.
