Biggest opportunity: “calendar”, “events” and “ical” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 10 of 4.4K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Booking & Events plugin keeps 0.8%, across 943 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.

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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |

| ical your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| tickets your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ Peter A.2.3y ago
I have started to use this plugin on a new site I currently build and found that it was really easy to get started. It gives very nice ways to show the events as lists or in calendars, and easy to sell tickets. It is quite possible to modify how events are shown using CSS, but I have not found documentation for how to do that so you need to use the browser inspect functions – which is OK.
