Update activity

How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

Estimated value

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

Est. annual revenue

Est. acquisition value

N/A

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

    Muy buen buscador y grandes profesionales detrás que te ayudan en todo. Yo estoy encantada, puedes analizar las búsquedas que has tenido con y sin resultado y te da muchas opciones para dirigir las búsquedas que hace el cliente.

    We all know that the native search experience for WooCommerce should be better (to put it kindly 🤗), although we also know how important it is for an online store. Fortunately this service has achieved a high quality and effortless integration for the user. You activate the plugin, put your API key (it is a paid service, you know) and they take care of indexing all the content of your store. I have to admit that before starting the free trial period I was skeptical (my site is made with a custom theme), but in a few minutes the plugin manages to perfectly index the content of your store, including attributes, tags and categories. Thanks to the stats panel you get valuable information about the searches in your online store and you can also customize the behavior of the results from the user area in Motive. If your store really requires continuous searches or has a lot of products, it is a highly recommended tool that is worth the cost. This topic was modified 2 years, 8 months ago by Javier Archeni.

    Gracias a Motive he conseguido que la tiendas de todos mis clientes mejoren no solo en UX, que los clientes lo agradecen, sino también por otras funcionalidades como el tema de los sinónimos, las reglas de negocio para orientar los resultados a los deseos de la empresa, etc… Dan un gran soporte, con respuestas rápidas. Además se trata de una herramienta que está en constante evolución, lo que es de agradecer.
