Biggest opportunity: Add “bcs” to your wp.org tags. You rank #7 for it without listing it, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 3 listed it's a slot worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 50 of 5.8K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Content & Feeds plugin keeps 0.8%, across 863 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Content & Feeds plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| batchline your tag | #1 | #1 | — |
| bertline your tag | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| bcs | #7 | #15 | 0 |
| import your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
6 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 3 listed. 3 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Add “bcs” to your wp.org tags. You rank #7 for it without listing it, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 3 listed it's a slot worth spending.

Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ dfridd5.6y ago
I am incredibly happy with this development. Until now I had been running a daily update of my site for new titles and then another one to update stock levels. This removes all that work and adds incredibly rich and searchable metadata that would have taken me days to try to include in my other uploads and configure on the site. Upgraded my standard search to make the new fields searchable. Installation was simple enough. Create your API keys in Woocommerce and insert them into the Batchline export tool. Buy your serial key from BCS and enter that in Tools – Book import section then start syncing. I would advise a stock take before you start if you think your stock is wrong.
