Biggest opportunity: Swap “ai visibility”, “seo” and “backlinks” for “radar”, “backlink” and “keyword research”. “ai visibility” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “radar” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “seo” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “backlink” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “backlinks” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #13. “keyword research” sits at #21 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 →2.3%
of downloads still active
At least 300 of 13.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above 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 6 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.

52 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 15 listed. 37 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Swap “ai visibility”, “seo” and “backlinks” for “radar”, “backlink” and “keyword research”. “ai visibility” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “radar” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “seo” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “backlink” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “backlinks” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #13. “keyword research” sits at #21 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “backlinks”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Estimated active installs
The public count shows “300+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band today and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 400.

Limited to 100-2000 keyword to use
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ ThePopularizer3.8y ago
It’s either full access (with the ability to add new keywords) or no access; it needs whitelabellable client mode, where clients can view the data but not change its settings, add new keywords, or see the TrueRanker branding.

I’ve tried a lot of rank trackers for my business and TrueRanker is the best one. The interface is easy to use, it updates regularly and has an excellent customer service team. I would recommend TrueRanker to anyone who needs a quality rank tracker that gets the job done.

Decidí instalar este plugin y contratar la plataforma de TrueRanker para mis proyectos de SEO y estoy muy satisfecho con el funcionamiento. Además, el plugin es muy intuitivo.

True ranker is much more than a simple WordPress plugin, it is above all a tool for monitoring positions in Google which offers many very practical features such as dashboard sharing and many filter possibilities in these views. The WordPress Plugin part is all very practical to have this follow-up directly accessible in the administration of WordPress. The True Ranker team really listens to users and the tool continues to improve. I appreciate that it is very accessible (even for people who are not used to this type of tool) while being very complete. In addition, the possibility of sending daily reports is really very practical.
