Biggest opportunity: Swap “company reviews” and “google reviews” for “adwords” and “trustpilot”. “company reviews” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “adwords” sits at #18 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “google reviews” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “trustpilot” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 1K of 64.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,778 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized 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 3 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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| stars in adwords your tag | #1 | #6 | 0 |
| seller ratings your tag | #4 | #19 | down 1 |
| adwords | #18 | #23 | down 2 |
| trustpilot | #24 | #24 | 0 |
| google adwords | #19 | #24 | 0 |
| company reviews your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| google reviews your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| reviews your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
16 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 5 listed. 11 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Swap “company reviews” and “google reviews” for “adwords” and “trustpilot”. “company reviews” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “adwords” sits at #18 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “google reviews” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “trustpilot” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

This plugin has not been maintained as the last update was more than 7 months ago (as of the time of this writing). As an open-source plugin, it exposed vulnerabilities to my website and allowed for malware injection, which caused my website to be blocked by major antivirus services. I am now looking for an alternative review platform to use that will integrate with my website without introducing these vulnerabilities.

Had a manual penalty applied by the mighty google because my rich snippets were apparently ‘spammy’ with the usual indecipherable ‘help’ article and no way to realistically sort the manual penalty. A bit of searching brought me to the conclusion it was possible the reviews.co.uk on my website, and a swift resolution was provided by the team. A week or two later and an email from Google saying penalty lifted. Result! Cheers reviews.co.uk
