Biggest opportunity: “quotation” and “quotes” 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.

of downloads still active
At least 1K of 85.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,770 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| pull quote your tag | #1 | #2 | 0 |
| pull quotes | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| pullquote your tag | #2 | #3 | up 1 |
| easy pull quotes | #1 | #2 | up 1 |
| pull | #3 | #10 | 0 |
| simple quotes | #23 | #24 | 0 |
| quotation your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| quotes your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
8 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 6 listed. 2 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
- “quotation” and “quotes” 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 “pull”. #3 without listing it. A tag would change little there; your slots are better spent on a search you don't yet win.

thanks for plugin. it works. though if you need customizations, you had to be more than beginner since it needs CSS knowledge.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ AJ Don10.6y ago
Doesn’t do anything. No visual button, shortcode doesn’t have any effect.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Andrew11.5y ago
Instant install and — boom! — it works, first try. Editing the CSS was (mostly) simple. I’m not sure why I had to call the style body .simplePullQuote instead of just .simplePullQuote, but hey, it works.
