Reviews Widgets for Google, TripAdvisor, Yelp & Recommendations

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 · 41% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

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 declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   Only tried the google reviews, found the business but died on spinner, fun toy as if you click again it adds another spinner to the add button, I got bored after 3rd row though.

   I really like the layout and style of the carousel review widget. It combines the badge showing the total number and rating as well as the most recent reviews. Great plugin.
