Mapster WP Maps

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.

275 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 216 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words).

   I’ve used Mapster WP Maps Pro for over a year now, and the functionality and flexibility are excellent. What’s even BETTER though, is the support. Victor has not only created fantastic documentation and walkthrough videos, but his personal involvement in the project is amazing. We had questions, he answered. We had difficulties, he dove in and helped us figure them out. I can’t recommend this plugin (pay for it!) highly enough. Thank you Victor!

   This is a fantastic plugin to generate a map on your site. This is making a huge difference for my site. It’s not hard to figure out how to use, and when I ran into an issue, I quickly got support from the team and got it resolved and the map published in no time. Thanks again for a quality plugin!

   The plugin is extremely robust with options for most everything you can want in a map locator. The developer was exceptionally responsive and even added several new features at our request. Couldn’t be more pleased, highly recommend!

   I’ve used this plugin to create custom maps for waymarkers that render and integrate beautifully with my website. Recently, I was facing an issue when a WordPress update broke some settings on the website and Victor was very gracious with his time and lent valuable support to get the maps rendering on the website again!Highly recommend!
