Maps Plugin using Google Maps for WordPress – WP Google Map

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 · 76% 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.

   We have 5 Salon Suite Rental locations in the Las Vegas Valley. The Google maps plugin is great for not confusing the locations. Nothing would work better and be more understandable for our potential tenants. This topic was modified 3 months, 3 weeks ago by mgkoll. This topic was modified 3 months, 3 weeks ago by mgkoll.

   I’ve used another Google Maps plugin for a long time, but because of the cost difference, I decided to give WP Google Map a try. And I must say, I have never received faster or better support for ANY WordPress plugin or product. The pro version of this plugin is definitely worth what is costs. The support is awesome.

   Hi, I just want to share a display error on my website (the map could not be seen) that was resolved, and the cause was some misconfiguration on the Speedy Cache plugin. So thanks to the support guy I could resolve this problem!
