## Overview

The Starbridge Chrome Extension brings buyer profiles, contacts, signals, and Ask Starbridge directly into your browser. It automatically surfaces account intelligence as you browse, making it easy to research buyers, prepare for calls, and get answers without switching tabs.

## Using the extension

### Automatic buyer detection

As you browse, click the Starbridge icon on any account website or account LinkedIn page. The extension matches the URL against Starbridge's buyer database and opens the matching buyer profile if it finds one.

### Search when no buyer is detected

If the page you're on doesn't match a known buyer, search is always available at the top of the popup. Type the buyer's name to pull up the right profile. You can search at any time, even when a buyer has been auto-detected, which is handy for looking up a different account without leaving the page you're on.

### Exploring buyer data

The extension gives you access to any buyer data your organization has in Starbridge — the same profile you'd see in the web app:

### Ask Starbridge in the extension

Ask Starbridge is built into the extension. Open the popup on any page, switch to the **Ask Starbridge** tab, and ask anything you'd ask in the web app.

</Frame>

When the extension has detected a buyer on the current page, Ask Starbridge automatically uses that buyer as context — so a question like *"What should I lead with on this call?"* answers in the context of the account you're already looking at. When no buyer is detected, Ask Starbridge works as a general assistant, just like in the web app.

## Common use cases

<Icon icon="lightbulb" /> **Use it for first-call prep on the prospect's own site.** Open the agency's homepage or the school district's "About" page — the extension surfaces the contacts, signals, and Buyer Summary your team has built up, no separate tab needed.

<Icon icon="lightbulb" /> **Use it to qualify inbounds in real time.** When an unfamiliar account name lands in your inbox, open their site in a new tab and the extension does the lookup for you.

<Icon icon="lightbulb" /> **Find relevant contacts for a specific buyer, live.** As you're researching an account, use the Chrome Extension to find relevant contacts to reach out to. You can also use Ask Starbridge to craft outbound emails or talking points tailored to that account.

## Extension settings

By default, the Starbridge Chrome extension icon will be visible on the right side of your Chrome browser at all times for easy access to the extension. If you'd like to gate access to the extension to the extension menu in your toolbar, click the "Gear" icon on the "Buyers" page within the extension, and toggle the "Show Starbridge tab" option to OFF.
