Launch a Chrome Extension
Chrome extensions have one of the best distribution channels available: the Chrome Web Store. But getting there requires a strong launch that drives enough early ratings and installs. SoloMax turns your extension's product URL into launch-ready demo videos that show exactly what it does in seconds.
Outcome
A launch pack with demo videos, posting copy, and a Product Hunt strategy designed for Chrome extensions.
How it works
- 01
Publish your extension to the Chrome Web Store
Your extension needs a store listing before you launch. Write a clear description, upload screenshots, and set up a landing page URL that SoloMax can read.
- 02
Paste your landing page URL into SoloMax
SoloMax reads the landing page to understand what the extension does and who it is for. It builds the launch story around the single most valuable use case.
- 03
Get a screen-recording demo plan
SoloMax provides a storyboard for recording the extension in action: which browser, which page, which actions, which result to show.
- 04
Publish launch content and drive early installs
Post the demo video and launch content to drive Chrome Web Store installs. Early installs and ratings establish social proof that compounds.
Frequently asked questions
- How do you launch a Chrome extension?
- Publish to the Chrome Web Store, create a short demo video showing the extension in use on a real website, and post it on Product Hunt, TikTok, and X. The key is showing exactly what the extension does in the first 5 seconds of the demo.
- Does Product Hunt work for Chrome extensions?
- Yes — extensions have their own category on Product Hunt and the community is receptive. A top-5 day drives significant Web Store installs and early ratings.
