Locatoraid Store Locator

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 · 99% run the current release. 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.

A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The range spans more than 10x because wp.org publishes install counts as broad bands, and conversion and price compound on top. Read the midpoint as an order of magnitude, not a valuation.

   I think this is the most easiest Plugin to use it with Google Maps. Sure to get the API KEY from Google is like solving a difficult riddle.. But this Plugin is very clear. I had a little problem with the Icon Marker, but this was resolved within 24 hours. Perfekt. Thanks for this great work & this Plugin.

   Last days after a Locatoraid update, it did not work properly but I was very well helped by the Locatoraid support team, they were also busy and still had to figure out what was needed. I also thank Locatoraid’s team on behalf of Studiohoofddorp, we make websites in WordPress with Locatoraid’s plugin, Thanks Theo

   I’m giving it 2 stars for nostalgic reasons. This was a great plugin as it simply worked. I took some time off and let my website just run…came back to a few updates and Locatoraid was one that needed updates. New update is very frustrating and I simply don’t have the time on how to build something around google again. Time to uninstall and find something that simply does its job again.

   Locatoraid does work as far as listing and searching for locations but I have confirmed that none of it’s listings and links to outside websites renders as far as search engines go so, from my point of view it’s pretty useless. In today’s business world, the key is doing everything you can to get your website(s) noticed by search engines. There are many directories out there that provide geo-location AND also juice up the SEO so why use something that doesn’t?

   I needed to have customizations on line from the very first minute and many other store locator plugins make you get lost into a jungle of confused options, premium features, checkboxes doing things you don’t need. Locatoraid, after a fast reading of the documentation, is just straight clear, with a well organized back end and a free version good enough to serve a lot of basic configurations. Going further, after purchasing the PRO license, I’m experiencing a very good email support for any doubt of mine.

   Good plugin, a little tricky to customize as far as css and layout. The only issue i have with this plugin is that i emailed Hitcode 3 times in two weeks asking for help, or at least to point me to some type of documentation and never heard back from them. I’ve yet to hear from them. Eventually, we went with another plugin due to the lack of support.
