Biggest opportunity: “ratings” and “widget” 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 →2.8%
of downloads still active
At least 3K of 109.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,194 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Admin & Utilities 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 6 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.

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.

A client wanted to showcase their Yelp reviews and as you should know, dynamic, and real-time reviews are what Google prefers. Anybody can write anything and call it a review. But this plugins provides the kind of authenticity I seek across all my work.

La configuración de plugins es sencilla y funcional, les recomiendo porque muchos plugins no me fueron funcionales hasta que lo encontré.

Had a website that needed Yelp reviews in it and I was amazed how fast and easy it was to deploy this plugin and the many options it has for displaying Yelp reviews is great.

Looks great, no functionality issues and shows people how how great of a business I have! The Google reviews plugin is equally good!

5 stars for this app that works perfectly!

As the title reads. The plugin doesn’t work at all. It stopped working end of December and seems to not have any developer support. Dead plugin.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ colortonesnet4.7y ago
I’m trying 3 times but it doesn’t pull the reviews from Yelp on the latest WordPress version. Hope they fix it soon. The Google reviews works fine.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Anonymous4.7y ago
It’s been 2 months since the plugin has a bug that prevents reviews from being pulled from Yelp, which pretty much render it useless. Despite having multiple reports in the support forum about the bug but developers don’t care enough to fix it.
