Assistant – Every Day Productivity Apps

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

73 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 44 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 95% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 14 months ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 50% of the way through.

   I’d love to give this a 5 star review as it’s from the great BB team but it’s not quite there for me yet. I’ve been using a plugin that offers some of the same functionality for years (Assistant has a lot more to offer) and although this is definitely a time saver I’m finding that I need to do more clicks using this – a minimum of 2 to get anywhere (I’ve been spoilt with just one click from anywhere with the other plugin). Plus after clicking to view a page Assistant opens again so I need to click to close it which I find really frustrating. I’d also prefer to get rid of the big pencil in the top right and just have the “assistant” in the toolbar as I’m building a site with an ajax add to cart and it’s in exactly the same spot. I probably haven’t used it to its full potential yet so it may turn into 5 stars yet. I’ll probably continue to use my other time saving plugin because of the number of clicks it saves me. However on large e-commerce sites Assistant is the way forward as it doesn’t seem to preload the product links in the same way and whilst the other plugin crashed a very large e-commerce site, Assistant worked a treat.

   I’ve been a fan of Beaver Builder since I figured it out – which was fairly easy. It’s been an incredible boon to my website building. I recently added Beaver Builder Assistant to my workflow, and it kills it! Made everything so much faster – Thank you, thank you, thank you! No charge, works super fast and makes things SO much more accessible. You BB engineers made my life better, more fun and more profitable.

   Thanks to the Beaver Builder team. When it is a standalone plugin, I did not see much value in the plugin as editing post content not possible with both BBuilder and assistant at the same time in the past. However, with recent integration, it made the post creation and editing a bliss.

   Great plugin, first I didn’t see the potential but when working with it, it is a GREAT time-saver. Also great to see that the BeaverBuilder team is innovating WordPress!

   All I can say is this is a very cool plugin. Glad it exists. Really makes content management a lot easier on the frontend. The plugin is lightning fast. This honestly is so much more functional than the default WordPress toolbar, aesthetically pleasing with a simple UI.
