Google for WooCommerce

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

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.

818 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 708 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words).

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. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 5 months ago and the previous band took 2.3 years to cross, so the real count is still just under 900K.

   I’ve spent several weeks testing this plugin on a live WooCommerce store together with Google Ads, Google Analytics 4 and Google Tag Manager. The plugin does an excellent job syncing products with Google Merchant Center and generating the product feed. Unfortunately, the tracking side of the plugin causes several problems. Here are the main issues I encountered: The plugin automatically creates Google Ads conversion actions after connecting an existing Google Ads account, even when I explicitly selected that I already have campaigns and an existing tracking setup. During the campaign creation process, it immediately tries to create Google Ads campaigns instead of simply allowing Merchant Center synchronization and statistics. Purchase tracking appears to be sent automatically by the plugin, even when I use Google Tag Manager (GTM4WP) as my only tracking solution. There is no clear option to completely disable all conversion tracking while keeping only the product feed functionality. Even with Enhanced Conversions disabled inside the plugin, purchase-related data still appears to be transmitted, making it difficult to understand which source is sending conversions. The automatically generated conversion actions create conflicts with existing GTM implementations and can result in duplicate purchase events or very difficult debugging. The plugin mixes Merchant Center, Google Ads tracking and campaign management into one package. Many advanced users only need Merchant Center synchronization and product feeds. My current setup is: WooCommerce Google Tag Manager (GTM4WP) Google Analytics 4 Google Ads conversion tracking through GTM Google Merchant Center In this setup I want GTM to be the only source of conversion tracking, while the plugin should only manage the product feed. Suggestions: Add a “Feed Only” mode. Allow disabling all Google Ads conversion tracking. Do not automatically create Google Ads conversion actions. Do not automatically create campaigns unless the user explicitly requests it. Separate Merchant Center functionality from Google Ads tracking. Provide clearer documentation about which events are sent automatically and how to disable them. The feed functionality is very good, but the automatic tracking behavior makes the plugin difficult to use together with professional GTM implementations.

   I got the plugin from the woocommerce website to be able to show my products on google listings and also to connect my website to my YouTube Channel. Last part didn’t work, so I contacted the support from the woocommerce website on the live chat function. And the engineer that answered was THE NICEST GUY EVER. He stayed with me over 30 minutes and walked me through many troubleshoots. After I changed the ownership email of the YouTube account to the same email as I have on wordpress it worked. Then another problem arised, products didn’t show on my youtube channel. Again the guy opened a ticket for me and in 3-4 days came back to explain that the products are reviewed individually and that was true, because they started to appear 1 by 1 on my shop section on youtube.He asked me for a review here though, but on woocommerce site it has a better rating than here. I don’t know why, but I give the review here, where the IT guy said. At least that’s what I can do for how nice he was!
