Biggest opportunity: “analytics”, “dashboard” and “google” 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 400 of 21.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Analytics plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,007 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Analytics plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

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 |

As someone who manages multiple client websites, I was looking for a simple yet powerful analytics solution. Meow Analytics has exceeded my expectations. The setup process was a breeze – no need to mess with complex code insertions. What I love most is how it seamlessly integrates Google Analytics data right into the WordPress dashboard. This saves me tons of time switching between platforms. The clean, intuitive interface makes it easy to quickly gauge site performance and share insights with clients. Highly recommended for agencies and freelancers!

Not quite sure how I got by without it before. Really useful.

Simply a good plugin; these details are usually what we need. You may add a few more options to the analytics dashboard (such as visited pages and 404 pages). This topic was modified 2 years, 11 months ago by almahmud.

I came across this plugin through another plugin of this developer – namely AI Engine. I recommend to try it. Even the free version has everything you need. As for the Google Analytics plugin, it has an excellent interface. I like how it works. 5 stars.

The plugin eases the integration of an existing google analytics tracking code on a WordPress site, and also optionally offers a way to expose basic traffic patterns directly in the admin portal – an ideal combination. While setting up the integration with google indeed requires a couple of steps, the documentation for these is comprehensive as well. Thanks for another great plugin! The Meow suite pretty much covers everything you’d need for most websites
