Biggest opportunity: “carousel”, “google business” and “google 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 →1.3%
of downloads still active
At least 10 of 769 lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,784 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 9 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.

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.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ Laurent6mo ago
J’ai testé ce plugin et franchement, très bonne surprise !L’installation est rapide et la prise en main vraiment intuitive, même sans être expert WordPress. J’ai particulièrement apprécié la possibilité de connecter facilement les avis Google, mais aussi d’ajouter des avis manuellement ou en masse selon les besoins. Les options proposées sont complètes, tout en restant simples à utiliser, et le rendu final est vraiment propre et professionnel sur le site. Un excellent outil pour mettre en avant la preuve sociale et rassurer les visiteurs — clairement un plus pour la crédibilité et les conversions 👍 Je recommande sans hésiter !

Installation et configuration simples, on est opérationnel en quelques minutes. Je n’ai pas encore paramétré la clé API Google, mais j’ai pu ajouter mes avis manuellement en quelques minutes sans aucune difficulté. L’import et l’export d’avis via fichier CSV ou Excel est également très pratique pour gérer ses avis en masse et mettre les avis à jour rapidement. Le plugin est entièrement personnalisable et, ce qui fait vraiment la différence, c’est la possibilité d’afficher le badge flottant et le carrousel d’avis en même temps sur la même page. Un vrai plus pour la preuve sociale. Je recommande !
