SEO Metrics

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

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 · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   I’m really impressed with how this pulls everything together. Usually, I have to jump between Google Search Console, Bing Webmaster, and Analytics to get a full picture for my clients. This tool fetches all of it in a single click. Being able to show current rankings alongside the backlinks we’ve built and the GMB posts we’ve published in one white labeled PDF makes us look incredibly organized. It’s high level enough for the client to understand but has all the data we need as an agency. Honestly, the biggest win for me with SEOMetrics hasn’t just been the reporting, but the “request link” feature for clients. If you’ve ever chased a client for weeks trying to get storefront photos or GMB restoration docs, you know the struggle. I just send them one link, they upload, and it’s stored right there. Plus, the AI post generator for Google Business Profiles actually creates decent images and captions that don’t look like generic bot crap. It’s saved our team so much back and forth time.
