Biggest opportunity: Swap “appointment booking”, “appointment scheduling” and “booking calendar” for “airport transfer”, “reserved seating” and “vehicle rental”. “appointment booking” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “airport transfer” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “appointment scheduling” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “reserved seating” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “booking calendar” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “vehicle rental” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 200 of 3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Booking & Events plugin keeps 0.8%, across 944 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Booking & Events plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

Directory rank
Ranked about #11,300 to #12,900, alongside the other plugins at 200+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 1 Nov 2026.
Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Estimated active installs
The public count shows “200+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band 30 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just over 200.
