Biggest opportunity: “call button”, “click to call” and “contact button” 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.

How it's measured →4.2%
of downloads still active
At least 20 of 476 lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Forms plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,671 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Forms 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 2 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.

I’ve found it very useful. Simplicity wons. Tracking via GA4 was what I didn’t found on simple apps and this did the job. Thanks to the developer. Keep it up.

This plugin is very useful. I’ve installed on my site. The best things I see is the simple & elegant backend and frontend interfaces. No congestions of settings/options. Tooltip along with customization. It give option to show both call & WhatsApp button or either of them. The analytics dashboard is fantastic as well with filters and most importantly, you can track and optimize the click events in Google Ads. Tracking integration is very easy and powerful.
