Biggest opportunity: Add “keyword rank tracker” to your wp.org tags. You rank #11 for it without listing it, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 2 listed it's a slot worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 80 of 6K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median SEO plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,194 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| keyword rank tracker | #11 | #16 | 0 |
| rank tracker | #15 | #20 | down 2 |
| google rank tracker | #24 | #23 | — |
| google your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| seo your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
4 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 3 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Once you finish with your service accounts, 5th step is very confusing. (Add service account from previous step to the list of allowed accounts of your website in Search Console.)1> You copy newly created service account email, then go to google search console -> Settings -> Users and permissions and click on “Ädd User” button, Entered your copied service account email with Full permission. More ever, Coiped your JSON file and upload it to “Update Service Account JSON file” section on your website.You will get an “authenticated” status after following this process.

Top SEO Ranking Plugin, totally under the Radar Why looks the Keywords Position/Clicks/Impression Data different from on the Google Search Console. The Plugin shows me 48 keywords Google Search Console Track 84. Suggestion : the 10 Years data range could be a bit too much For novice its a bit hard to get there API key, but after that is smooth like honey.
