MapPress – Google Maps, OpenStreetMap & Leaflet

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

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.

267 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 165 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words).

   I am currently using Mappress for a client project, and it was the best solution I could find to meet all of my client’s needs. Most importantly, the support from the Mappress team has been stellar and has saved me many hours of frustration.

   I spent quiet a lot of time to look for a good maps plugin. I tried 5 or 6 diferent. I found MapPress Maps for WordPress the best. In its free version, you can do a lot. And if you want more, you can have a premium version with many more options. When I tried to use this plugin, I found an issue. I wrote to the founder, Chris. He answered me diferent times until he found THE solution. He was not forced to do it because I am a free user. But he did. And I do thank him. If you are looking for a great maps solutions, here is the best plugin.
