ExactMetrics – Google Analytics Dashboard for WordPress (Website Stats Plugin)

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 · 30% 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.

   The support person Michelle was very helpful when my Exact Matrics didn’t work. She fixed what was wrong and was very easy to deal with. I am very pleased.

   After asking you for permissions to see all your private data from your Google account, it shows a very simple control panel, and all the options you can try to see are all paid. You can’t do anything, it’s useless. Google Sales Kit is much better, all its options work and it is completely free.
