Biggest opportunity: Swap “seo”, “link building” and “anchor text” for “internal linking”, “internal link” and “automatic”. “seo” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “internal linking” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “link building” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #18. “internal link” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “anchor text” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #15. “automatic” sits at #15 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →2.1%
of downloads still active
At least 900 of 42.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median SEO plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,193 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other SEO 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 11 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.

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.

What to do about it
- Swap “seo”, “link building” and “anchor text” for “internal linking”, “internal link” and “automatic”. “seo” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “internal linking” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “link building” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #18. “internal link” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “anchor text” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #15. “automatic” sits at #15 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “anchor text”. #15 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

⚠️ Warning: Do NOT use this plugin. I installed it on two different websites, and both were completely hacked. The content was changed, and spam pages (like fake product listings) started appearing in Google. This caused serious damage to both sites. I strongly advise everyone to avoid this plugin.

This plugin is the best in the market trust me anyone serious with on page SEO should try this. If it continue to be free this is going to be big, i see Rank math or yoast acquired this company or copy this.
