Biggest opportunity: Swap “upc” for “changer”. “upc” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #23. “changer” sits at #13 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 700 of 12.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,173 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| sku to isbn your tag | #2 | #8 | 0 |
| sku your tag | #9 | #22 | down 1 |
| changer | #13 | #17 | up 1 |
| mpn your tag | #18 | #17 | down 3 |

| woocommerce your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
10 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 5 listed. 5 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it

This is a very simple but useful plug-in, the job it provides is equivalent to adding a couple of lines of code to change the SKU to anything you want, however, on this recent update they introduced and extremely annoying pop-up asking you to update to the PRO version, even after you dismiss the pop-up it appears again every time you open your admin dashboard. The reason why no one pays $99 USD to change the SKU label is not because we’re not aware of your PRO version, is because there are a thousand plug-ins that would provide way more value for those $99 USD than yours, so please remove that annoying pop-up.

There are plenty of solutions are available on the web for changing the default SKU. But, all of them for coders. I this this plugin will help those people who doesn’t want to touch their code and want a simple solution.

Last couple of months I was searching for a plugin that will help me to change WooCommerce defautlt ‘SKU’ label to ‘Artikel Nr’ for one of my German client. There are lot of tricks available in the web but most of them are modifing the function.php which wss really horrble for me. This plugin saves me and also saves lot of time.
