Estimated value
What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.
Est. annual revenue

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

OMG, do I love this bad boy. It’s so professional, flexible, accurate and still fast and a dream to use. Yoast, SEO Pressor and others, check out how accurate this little offering is. Unlike yours, it’s solid and recognizes extensions to keywords, such as plurals and other conjugations. eg, KW = ‘Link’ is recognized in ‘Linking’, ‘Linked’ and ‘relink’ just as it is in Google. Developers, if you could add a meta input facility I would multiple orgasm!
