Biggest opportunity: Swap “calendar”, “reservation” and “booking” for “appointment booking”, “chauffeur” and “doctor appointment”. “calendar” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “appointment booking” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “reservation” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “chauffeur” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “booking” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #20. “doctor appointment” sits at #4 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 →9.8%
of downloads still active
At least 2K of 20.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Booking & Events plugin keeps 0.8%, across 944 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Booking & Events 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 21 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.
