Geocode Switch

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 · 100% 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 small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   Provides everything you need to make geo-specific content for your website. I’ve tried all the rest. This is the fastest, easiest and has the biggest impact.

   I run a mixed public/private site where, for legal reasons, we need to restrict access to one province in Canada. (The law is different in other provinces). This is the first plugin that even came close to solving the problem for us. I simply wrapped my front end registration and login pages in the shortcodes and away it went! So long as it keeps working this nicely I’ll give it 4 stars. For the 5th star, add automatic data base updates.
