Biggest opportunity: Add “web forms” and “salesforce” to your wp.org tags. You rank #16 and #20 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 1 listed these are the slots worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 2K of 98.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Forms plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,668 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 1 release 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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| formassembly | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| web forms | #16 | #23 | down 2 |
| salesforce | #20 | #23 | down 2 |
| forms your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
14 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 3 listed. 11 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Add “web forms” and “salesforce” to your wp.org tags. You rank #16 and #20 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 1 listed these are the slots worth spending.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ crowinck8.4y ago
I was glad to see that this plugin does more than just insert an iframe on the page. However, when you use the shortcode it wraps the entire page in it’s own wrapper and applies its own styles to all of your page content. So if you try to add any text above and below the form, you’ll find that it’s now in a tiny 13px and generally looks terrible. It doesn’t have an option to turn styling off, you can override it with your own CSS, but it’s a pain.

Just place the shortcode anywhere you want the form to appear and replace the ID with your own from TFA. This topic was modified 9 years ago by klaudiom.
