Biggest opportunity: Swap “seo” for “data”. “seo” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “data” sits at #9 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 2K of 175.8K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median SEO plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,193 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.
This plugin shipped 1 release 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.

This excellent plugin is a must-have for anyone working with older or legacy sites. It expertly corrects decisions made years ago, saving you hours of research and development in moving to a newer SEO plugin.

Due to depreciating PHP from my host I tried to use this plug in to migrate from SEO Ultimate to pretty much any recently updated SEO plugin alternative. Be warned that this plug in doesn’t copy the meta tags, meta description etc it migrates them so deletes them from the original SEO plugin. I cannot find a way to copy (or even move!) the SEO Ultimate meta description to any other plug in and once you have copied from one to another you can’t repeat the process with another alternative plug in as it has deleted (vs copied) the original. Horrendous. I have had to use my backups to restore the site and tried three different major SEO plug ins all with the same result. I’m now left with odd duplicates in my WordPress posts including Disqus comments. Do not touch this plug in if you are trying to migrate from SEO Ultimate. Be sure to back up your site before starting, you will likely need to restore it!
