Biggest opportunity: Swap “map”, “google maps” and “openstreetmap” for “geojson”, “retirement saving” and “markers”. “map” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “geojson” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “google maps” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “retirement saving” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “openstreetmap” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #12. “markers” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 9K of 917.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,766 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 1 release in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

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.

What to do about it
- Swap “map”, “google maps” and “openstreetmap” for “geojson”, “retirement saving” and “markers”. “map” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “geojson” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “google maps” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “retirement saving” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “openstreetmap” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #12. “markers” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “openstreetmap”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ lcpr2.5y ago
I have been using MapsMarker for my websites for years. I feel bad for not leaving a review earlier because it has been truly a fantastic experience. I upgraded to the Pro Version and it is by far the best paid plug in I use and well worth it. MapsMarker is easy to use, I have customized a few things to match the look and feel of my site which is great. I just recently moved a site and had a small issue with exporting and support offered me the most amazing customer service with my dummy questions and issues. I gave them access to my sites, which I never do, that’s the trust built since I’ve used MapsMarker for so long. Thank you MapsMarker, keep up the good work. : ) – LC This topic was modified 2 years, 3 months ago by lcpr.

Ich nutze die Pro Version. Der Support ist erstklassig. Ich hatte einen Fehler gefunden der innerhalb kürzester Zeit gefixt wurde und eine Anfrage nach Anpassung an Borlabs Cookies wurde auch zeitnah umgesetzt und wird in der nächsten Version verfügbar sein.
