Check video GPS metadata from Chrome.
The MP4 GPS Metadata Checker extension gives local SEO teams a quick way to inspect selected MP4 and MOV files before using the full GetGeoVideo web workflow.

Links directly to the full checker and GPS repair workflow.
Useful as a lightweight first-pass audit tool.

Use the extension as a first-pass local file check
The Chrome extension is designed for quick inspection, not as a replacement for the full web workflow. It is useful when a consultant, marketer, or business owner wants to choose a local MP4 or MOV and see whether common GPS fields appear before moving into a deeper check or repair step.
This matters in client conversations. Instead of asking someone to upload every file to a web app immediately, the extension can help demonstrate the issue with a selected export. If GPS is missing, the user can move to the full GetGeoVideo checker or dashboard with a clearer reason for the next step.
Where the extension fits in an SEO workflow
Use the extension during file triage, outreach, or internal QA. It is especially helpful when reviewing a folder of exports from Canva, CapCut, Adobe, or a client handoff. The popup check gives a simple result, while the website provides the fuller metadata check and GPS repair workflow when needed.
The extension also supports privacy-sensitive first conversations because the selected file is checked locally in the popup for that first pass. Teams can reserve the web checker and repair flow for files that actually need the full workflow.
A practical pattern is to use the extension during discovery, then use the web checker for files that will enter a production workflow. That keeps the quick audit lightweight while still giving important files a fuller verification and repair path.
When this page is useful
- When quickly auditing client exports.
- When reviewing files before GBP upload.
- When doing outreach and demonstrating missing video GPS metadata.
Next best action
Start with a metadata check if you are unsure. If the final export is missing GPS, move into the repair flow and verify the output before publishing.
Extension workflow boundaries
- A quick popup check is treated as a full forensic metadata audit.
- A user checks a draft export instead of the final publishing file.
- The extension result is not followed by a repair and re-check when GPS is missing.
- A client assumes every unsupported metadata layout means the file has no location context.
Extension QA checklist
- Select the final MP4 or MOV export.
- Record whether common GPS fields were found.
- Move missing or uncertain files into the full web checker.
- Use the GPS repair flow only for files that represent a real location.
- Re-check repaired files before publishing or delivery.
