Removed from WordPress.org

Biggest opportunity: “business reviews”, “ratings” and “reviews” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.
Install conversion
How it's measured →9.1%
of downloads still active
At least 3K of 32.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,783 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 1 release 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.

How it's tracked →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.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| business reviews your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| ratings your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| reviews your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| testimonials your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Have the Putin for a while now. Needed support for the first time, got an answer almost immediately and a solution in a few hours. Amazing.

The widget and displaying reviews with this plugin is against Trustpilot rules.

I’ve been using Better Business Reviews PRO across multiple WordPress sites, and it’s hands down the best Trustpilot integration I’ve found. The setup is simple, the design blends seamlessly with my theme, and the new real-time syncing in version 1.1.2 is a game changer. It displays reviews beautifully with flags, dates, and star ratings — all fully responsive. Customer support has also been quick and helpful when I had a minor update issue. If you rely on Trustpilot reviews for credibility and SEO trust signals, this plugin is a must-have. Highly recommended!
