Biggest opportunity: “wpb”, “wpbakery” and “wpbakery page builder” 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.

Install conversion
How it's measured →8.2%
of downloads still active
At least 9K of 110.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Page Builders plugin keeps 2.4%, across 1,266 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Page Builders 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| wpb your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| wpbakery your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| wpbakery page builder your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| wpbakery page builder addon your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

BEST plugin to Import and export VC templates for backup or for use on other websites because it’s so easy to use and works every time. I highly recommend the VC Templates Import & Export plugin as a must-have for anyone using WPBakery Page Builder.
