Update activity

How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

    I am not a tech person. I run a small cafe, and the world of schema markup, JSON-LD, and local business listings used to be absolute gibberish to me. I tried a few other SEO plugins, but they were so complicated and bloated with features I didn’t need. Then I found Ankit Rawat’s LocalSEO plugin. What a revelation! This plugin is an absolute masterpiece of simplicity and power. It does one thing and does it perfectly: it makes your WordPress site incredibly friendly to local search. Here’s what I love: Setup was a Breeze: I had my business name, address, phone number (NAP), hours, and even my menu schema set up in less than 10 minutes. The interface is so intuitive; it holds your hand through the entire process without being condescending. My Google Rankings SOARED: Within a month of installing this plugin, my café started appearing in the “Local Pack” (the map results) for searches like “best coffee near me” and “lunch cafe saket”. That alone is worth ten times the price of the plugin. The structured data it outputs is clean and exactly what Google wants to see. No Bloat, Just Results: Unlike the huge, all-in-one SEO suites, this plugin is lightweight and focused. It doesn’t slow down my site. It just silently works its magic in the background, making sure my local presence is optimized perfectly. Fantastic Support: I had a small question about holiday hours, so I reached out. I got a personal, helpful response from what I believe was Ankit himself within a few hours. That level of care is unheard of! If you are a local business—a restaurant, a plumber, a salon, a lawyer—and you want to get more customers from Google Search and Maps, stop looking. LocalSEO by Ankit Rawat is the only plugin you need. It’s the best investment I’ve made for my business all year. Do yourself a favor and install it today. You can thank me later!

    The plugin works great! I was about to purchase a paid plugin when I discovered this one. It saved me money since it’s completely free.
