Biggest opportunity: “google”, “google maps” and “maps” 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 30K of 540.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,767 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.

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.

What to do about it
- “google”, “google maps” and “maps” 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 “snazzy maps”. #1 without listing it. A tag would change little there; your slots are better spent on a search you don't yet win.

Super easy to use – works right out of the box, and a ton of good looking map themes to choose from. If anything, there are too many – but you can sort by popularity etc. and search. It’s a great, simple plugin.

Thanks a lot! Great job! I was looking for an ability to apply json style to my maps, but with your plugin and your service I can even create my own in an easy way. But with thousands of existing styles I don’t need it any more.
