Helpfulcrowd Product Reviews

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.

15 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 3 listed. 12 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank

Ranked about #19,000 to #20,000, alongside the other plugins at 60+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 1 Nov 2026.

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 2 months ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 70.

   The support that they give you for this plugin is awesome. After setting up a new Online store we needed help importing the reviews from our old site. These guys did it all for use. They stand behind their product.

   The plugin is great and works exactly how it’s described. It’s super easy to set up and there are different options to customize the layout on the website and the email requests for reviews. I have never been in contact with better customer service. If there is an issue, the support is happy to help very fast.
