Biggest opportunity: “google seo”, “rich snippet” and “schema” 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 →0.2%
of downloads still active
At least 10 of 5.9K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median SEO plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,195 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.
Removal-risk signals
53/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.4.25.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| google seo your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| review rating your tag | Not checked yet | ||
| rich snippet your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| schema your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| seo your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

The plugin is not as beautiful as it is marketed. The premium version of the plugin inserts links to USA-based local affiliate sites for SEO. The links are not visible. Until Google slaps you (http://imgur.com/a/BQds2) Beware of the latest update. It was good in previous versions but not now. Maybe due to the reason they’ve removed the option to purchase the pro version https://www.schemaninja.com/pricing/ -> http://imgur.com/a/blDLD RIP grammar 🙁
