Biggest opportunity: Swap “accommodation”, “booking engine” and “hotel booking” for “hotel booking engine”, “pms” and “boutique”. “accommodation” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “hotel booking engine” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “booking engine” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #21. “pms” sits at #19 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “hotel booking” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #19. “boutique” sits at #20 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →0.4%
of downloads still active
At least 10 of 2.4K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Booking & Events plugin keeps 0.8%, across 940 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Booking & Events 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 18 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “accommodation”, “booking engine” and “hotel booking” for “hotel booking engine”, “pms” and “boutique”. “accommodation” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “hotel booking engine” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “booking engine” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #21. “pms” sits at #19 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “hotel booking” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #19. “boutique” sits at #20 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “vacation rental”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
