CM Map Locations – Visualize and share your locations in a few clicks

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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.

   This is a poorly developed app that uses a combination of front and back end to accomplish what should be done entirely on the back end. It also requires a theme with a side bar to function at all. Of no use to me. This topic was modified 3 years, 7 months ago by chriswarnerdevelopment.

   I cannot recommend this plugin at all. The interface to setup locations is horrible and bumps you out of the admin panel and takes you to a front end entry form. After entry you have to go back to the admin section each time. Not very user friendly.

   Navigating around this plugin is very cumbersome. Especially when it comes to adding a new location and selecting an icon. Some things are added via the backend, some via the front end. It would be nice if it were consistent and not jumping between constantly. When you add or edit a new location it seems to be missing any navigation to return to the list view which compounds the already rough workflow.

   After installing, I found that the plugin lacked some necessary functionality. I contacted support and they quickly responded and assisted with my requested changes. Appreciate their hard work and the use of their great plugin!
