Biggest opportunity: Add “block countries” and “maps” to your wp.org tags. You rank #20 and #23 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 3 listed these are the slots worth spending.

How it's measured →2.8%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 35.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Blocks plugin keeps 2.1%, across 1,577 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Blocks 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.

What to do about it
- Add “block countries” and “maps” to your wp.org tags. You rank #20 and #23 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 3 listed these are the slots worth spending.
- One page off on “map block”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

This plugin is awesome and exactly what I wanted to see. Setup is very easy. There’s a bug though: While setting up the Gutenberg block, error messages keep appearing on the bottom left of the screen. I’d like to have an option to display the map in dark mode. I know MapKit JS offers that.

I have been using several different map plugins for my WordPress site. All have had issues. I don’t want to use Google Maps, and the other plugins related to open maps I have looked at have limitations related to geolookups (particularly non-english locations) and marker placement. Having an easy way to embed Apple Maps on my WordPress site is very helpful. Also like that I can place multiple markers on a map.
