Biggest opportunity: “call now”, “call us” and “contact us” 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 200 of 29K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Forms plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,671 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Forms 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.

Tenho uma sugestão, abrir a janela para fotos, ou aNúncios. Os ícones ficam apagados. Poderíamos escolher nossos ícones. Agora, 1000 dias de teste, simbólico, e depois, o site trava? I have a suggestion, open the window for photos, or aNotices. The icons are erased. We could choose our icons. Now 1000 days of testing, symbolic, and then, the site crashes?

Could have been perfect. Map is not showing though. Can’t customize icon color. float is not static, it disappears when scrolling. Maybe add more options. Thanks!

Zotabox is a very useful plugin with many options. I love the mobile options for the call now button and email button and use this on most of my client’s mobile sites. There are so many possibilities for marketing with a header bar for sitewide announcements, email capture pop ups, countdown timer, EU cookie compliance, and much more. The plugin works well and is very easy to set up. Twice I have had a small issue and Zotabox support has promptly helped me fix the problem. I manage several sites and Zotabox works flawlessly on all of them. I would rate this my top plugin! This topic was modified 8 years, 6 months ago by truthteller1.
