Biggest opportunity: “locator”, “maps” and “store” 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 50 of 1.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,168 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other eCommerce plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|

| locator your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| maps your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| store your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
2 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Plugin supports integrating and managing store branch listings, useful for units building sites that need to display such information. Suggestion: automatic integration of schema structures would be a plus. This helps units optimize SEO for locations effectively. Also, when API information is not yet configured, showing placeholder map image with note is recommended. This prevents user confusion — for example, I only realized Goong API info was required after checking again next day.

Tôi không nghĩ miễn phí lại có thể tốt như vậy. Rất nhiều plugin trả phí cũng chỉ như thế này mà thôi. English review I never thought something free could be this good. Many paid plugins offer no more than this.
