Biggest opportunity: Swap “map” and “map image” for “geojson” and “kml”. “map” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “geojson” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “map image” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “kml” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 50 of 2.6K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,765 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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| static maps your tag | #13 | #20 | 0 |
| static map your tag | #13 | #20 | 0 |
| geojson | #11 | #8 | down 2 |
| gpx | #21 | #18 | down 2 |

What to do about it
- Swap “map” and “map image” for “geojson” and “kml”. “map” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “geojson” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “map image” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “kml” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “static map”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

I love this plugin. The map editor is very easy to use, but at the same time very powerful. I also like that is simply creates static images that you can use on your own website.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Michael Schustereder2.4y ago
This is an amazing plugin. It does not do much (it creates map images) but it does that pretty well. It’s very easy to add good looking map illustrations to my site, as article illustrations or even as header images. I use that for my travel blog, to add itineraries and overview maps for POIs. (Good thing: This plugin correctly places postal addresses to the map so I don’t have to do that myself. I used spreadsheets for that, great timesaver.)I’ve used interactive maps before but they don’t load as fast as simple images, hurting my SEO rank.

I’ve just extensively tested this plug-in, and we decided to use it for several websites for the Camino de Santiago. It is free, it is easy to use, and it offers a huge flexibility. Well done.!
