Biggest opportunity: Add “cars”, “vehicle” and “listings” to your wp.org tags. You rank #4, #5 and #9 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 2K of 151.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,767 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 5 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

AWFUL customer service. I purchased this plugin, with the Auto Listings Custom Page I’ve written 5 emails to get the service done … they don’t respond.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ flippingcarssa3.0y ago
You are unable to receive leads to your preferred Emailing system Customers cannot contact you via a call function as there is no option for that. You cannot make any adjustments to your page listing using elementor on the free version After requesting if a few small changes can be done if you purchase the custom page extension for $49 annually , They replied that it will require development at a charge of $630. The Changes needed: Hide paragraph display, Add call function button, Add area for video, remove the State,zip, town search bar and add a paragraph block for a disclaimer. Most These changes could be done if the Elementor function is available.

La verdad que este plug-in tiene muchas funcionalidades perfectas. Pero al agregar la lista de carros se desbordan las letras en las versiones, móviles y tablet. Incluso compré una extensión para integrarlo con elementor llamada ” Custom Page” y fue igual, las letras se desbordan y dañan el diseño Si hay una solución indíquemela

I had a little problem translating the plugin. I contacted customer service who responded immediately, giving me support and the right advice. The problem was solved brilliantly.

There is no “Auto Listings” under Settings or anywhere else. So I can’t even use it. Embarrassing and unprofessional.
