Biggest opportunity: Swap “analytics” and “data” for “visitor identification” and “data collection”. “analytics” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “visitor identification” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “data” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “data collection” sits at #18 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 →2.4%
of downloads still active
At least 200 of 8.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Analytics plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,011 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| first party your tag | #4 | #19 | up 1 |
| data collection | #18 | #23 | 0 |
| visitor identification | #11 | #13 | 0 |
| analytics your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| data your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| leads your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| traffic your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
8 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 3 listed. 5 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

It works!

I haven’t come across another plugin like this. This has allowed us to build our email lists and customer data better than ever. I recommend this to all of our clients. The cost for the premium version is worth it 10x over. GET THIS PLUGIN ON ALL YOUR SITES!

I’ve been testing this service across a few sites I manage and the results have been exceptional. It obviously isn’t going to capture 100% of visitors contact information who don’t fill out forms but on some sites I’m seeing 30+ new leads per day without having to do anything outside of the two-minute setup. I will be installing this service on every website moving forward.

Raek is a great plugin. I’ve been using it for about a week now and with all the marketing I’m doing I’ve already seen a increase in conversions by remarking the identified traffic.
