Tagembed: Social Media Feeds and Customer Reviews Widget

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

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.

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.

319 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 229 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

   We’ve been using Tagembed for a long time, and it’s been a great experience from day one. The platform is really easy to use, and it has helped us collect and display UGC for multiple brands without any hassle. One person who truly deserves a special mention is Thakur Pratap, our Customer Success Manager. He’s always been just a message away whenever we’ve needed help. Whether it’s sharing the right suggestions or helping us get the most value from the platform, he’s been incredibly supportive throughout our journey. The entire Tagembed team is also very responsive and collaborative, which makes working with them even better. We genuinely appreciate all the support and are happy to have Tagembed as our UGC partner. Highly recommended!

   There are features in the plugin that simply do not work and you can’t get any support. Their support is only through a forum that is obviously not monitored, as nobody answers any questions posted in it. I would highly advise that you find another solution that is actually supported.

   I’ve used this on client websites, and now my own. Easy to set up and display anywhere on your site. I had one issue with too many widgets on the free plan that broke my main widget, but support fixed it promptly!

   Unprofessional and unreliable service. Even a ONE star rating is still flattering

   TL;DR:unprofessional and unreliable service. Even a ONE star rating is still flattering. We’ve been using this service for a client for the past six months, integrating four widgets, each meant to display posts from a different social media channel. In that time, the number of issues we’ve encountered is honestly overwhelming — I don’t even know where to start. From technical problems (DevTools console is RED from “net::ERR_FAILED” and CORS errors), to data privacy violations (requests made to unrelated sources), to the general unreliability of the entire service — this has been a constant and unacceptable source of frustration. On multiple occasions, we received emails claiming that our page view quota had been exceeded — something we were able to rule out by checking our server logs, which the provider later admitted was their mistake. As I’m writing this review, the Tagembed website is down again, showing a “Scheduled Maintenance for Better Experience” message — long past the stated maintenance window. Meanwhile, the widgets on our site are showing “page view limit exceeded” yet again. This is beyond unprofessional and extremely damaging to our client’s reputation.

   FYI if you install the free version to display a Twitter or LinkedIn feed, it displays the feed on the day you install the plugin, and then it will never update again. Confirmed in a chat with TagEmbed support. This topic was modified 1 year, 7 months ago by thoughton.
