SearchIQ – The Search Solution

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

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.

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.

10 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 9 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 76% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 24 months ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 50% of the way through.

   There are ads in the search results that come from the plugin not from the website.Go to thepennyhoarder.com and do a search for James. You will see the ad in the top of the results.I wouldn’t recommend until they pull out their ads.

   I created 3 articles about the powerlifting moves, squat, bench and deadlift. Only two had the phrase resistance training but all three show up in the search result, which has to be the AI. Looking forward to checking it out further, and am recommending to all my clients.

   SearchIQ is a breeze to implement and works perfectly for any type of website. I’m surprised it doesn’t have more users and reviews—it’s a hidden gem packed with powerful search features. I think the pricing page might intimidate some, but I was fortunate to discover it on AppSumo.
