Biggest opportunity: “reputation”, “reviews” and “seo” 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.

How it's measured →1.5%
of downloads still active
At least 300 of 19.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median SEO plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,193 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other SEO 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| stream | #14 | #24 | down 1 |
| reputation your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| reviews your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| seo your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
5 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 4 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

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.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ dangar9132010.5y ago
I want the correct restaurant reviews be placed on the same page for the expanded restaurant page that is being viewed.(not others) Can this API do this? My pages are created dynamically because of the mysql database. There are thousands of pages. How will the API know if its the correct business? Is there an automated method of linking the database? Starting a Directory site from scratch is hard for the review pages and an API would be a great option. I would retain a lot of returning visits by having the latest reviews on my site
