Biggest opportunity: Swap “google images” and “seo” for “automatic alt” and “attribute”. “google images” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “automatic alt” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “seo” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “attribute” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 10K of 500.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median SEO plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,196 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 8 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.

Two things I absolutely needed this plugin for was identifying and automatically, bulk updating image alt tags for custom post types and top be able to dynamically create the alt text from the filename. On the “Welcome” splash page, the first thing I see is: “GET BIALTY PRO TO ENABLE THESE FEATURES: – Add Post Title or Image Name as Alt Attribute I thought, “Well, the free version can’t do that, but let’s see what it can do”. But, then as soon as I’m stepping through the “tour”, and I realize that the free version only works on “Post” and “Page”, but not on any custom post types. I feel duped. Although, I wouldn’t say that the plugin name is deceptive, it does appear that the marketing department has buried the lede and failed to clearly (not opaquely) indicate that most features WooCommerce sites, News Sites, Directory sites, etc. need are only available in the Pro version. Also, the fact that there are no YouTube tutorials on how to use this plugin gives one pause. I’ve got nothing against premium plugins, but it seems like there is definitely something deceptive about how this plugin is marketed. I cant’ quite put my finger on it.

The title of this product is highly misleading, which is entirely unacceptable. The alt text feature for images linked to WooCommerce products is exclusively available in the PRO paid version. The issue lies in the lack of clarity within the title and the overly extensive plugin description, where this critical detail is conspicuously absent. While having a paid version is perfectly fine, it is essential to transparently specify which features are accessible in the free version and which are exclusive to the paid one. Numerous users have pointed out this problem, yet the plugin description remains unaltered, and responses in the comments section seem to dispute rather than address these concerns. To resolve this issue, please provide accurate information about your product’s features, and the influx of one-star reviews will likely cease.

Way better than competitors, so unfair the negative reviews. Keep the good work!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Knighthawk3.2y ago
I like what this plugin does (the output is correct), but I wish it wrote to the database rather than run in the front end on every page load. For that reason, I won’t be using it myself. Another good thing is that it lets you choose if you want to overwrite existing values or not. Very important option.
