Biggest opportunity: “analytics”, “google search console” and “internal links” 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.

0.4%

of downloads still active

At least 800 of 206.5K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Analytics plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,007 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Analytics 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 9 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
booster	#3	#4	0
wp booster	#2	#2	0
woocommerce booster	#2	#2	0
booster for woocommerce	#3	#2	—

google search console your tag	Not in the top 24
internal links your tag	Not in the top 24
seo your tag	Not in the top 24
woocommerce your tag	Not in the top 24

88 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 6 listed. 82 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

What to do about it

“analytics”, “google search console” and “internal links” 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.
Already on top for “booster”. #3 without listing it. A tag would change little there; your slots are better spent on a search you don't yet win.

I recently had a question about SEO Booster Pro and contacted their support team. Lars responded quickly, and provided a thorough answer. Beyond just being helpful, he was genuinely kind and incredibly friendly – truly going above and beyond. It’s a rare pleasure these days to encounter support that is both knowledgeable and heartfelt. If you want a high-performing SEO plugin with support you can rely on, I can’t recommend this plugin enough. It’s a solid tool backed by an exceptional team!

I am sure that my opinion has sufficient weight due to the fact that I have been using the SEO BOOSTER service for many months. I will say that everything works really perfectly. In any case, in my experience, I am very pleased with how AutoLink works and all types of services provided. Thanks to the creators of the plugin and I wish you further achievements.
