Biggest opportunity: “filters by taxonomy” and “search map” 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 200 of 10.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Search plugin keeps 0.7%, across 645 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Search 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 2 releases 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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| locateandfilter your tag | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| filterable map your tag | #5 | #13 | 0 |
| leaflet your tag | #24 | #17 | 0 |
| filters by taxonomy your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| search map your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
29 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 3 listed. 26 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Zeer goede plugin voor iedereen die iets met locaties doet. De koppeling tussen een post type en de kaart is heel makkelijk gemaakt! Daarna kun je de locaties en de kaart tonen op een pagina. Doordat de locatie oplicht als je erop klikt, zowel op de kaart als in de lijst, zie je meteen waar een locatie is. 100% aan te raden dus!

This is a really well-written plugin that we are able to customize to our needs. It’s very developer-friendly, and we’ll be using it on a number of projects moving forward. We reached out to the developer with a request and he was extremely helpful and responsive. Thanks for enriching the WordPress community with this!

I tried multiple different map solutions and none came close to what this done. This plugin is amazing for what it does and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone else. Thank you developer!

Amazing plugin and fantastic support! Thank you so much!

Yo lo uso para mostrar CPTs en un mapa. En mi caso uso el shortcode en Elementor y sin problemas. Puedes personalizar el marcador, añadir campos personalizados al CPT para mostrar en el mapa, puedes filtrar por las taxonomias que le hayas añadido a tu CPT, puedes usar Google Maps or Open Street Maps que es gratuito, se integra perfectamente con el CPT para poder editar todos los datos en la página de cada CPT… En fin un montón de funcionalidades. Además el soporte es muy bueno, Andrii está siempre dispuesto a ayudar, tuve algunas dudas sobre el uso del plugin y me ayudó a resolverlo.
