Image Hotspot – Map Image Annotation

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. 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 small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   Great little plugin, works as intended. What is *REALLY* great is when we had a minor issue following a change of domain, the plugin author responded (literally) within minutes and very quickly resolved the issue for us. Thank you so much!

   I love how easy this plugin is to integrate into my WordPress site and create images with hotspots that show additional information nicely. The price is very affordable too compared to other plugins.
