Biggest opportunity: Swap “google business” and “google my business” for “my business” and “publish”. “google business” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “my business” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “google my business” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #13. “publish” sits at #18 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
Install conversion
How it's measured →4.7%
of downloads still active
At least 9K of 192.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,784 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.

27 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 11 listed. 16 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
- Swap “google business” and “google my business” for “my business” and “publish”. “google business” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “my business” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “google my business” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #13. “publish” sits at #18 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 “google my business”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence

Messed around with this for a couple hours… it will not post to the GMB.I double triple checked all fields, the way they were worded everything.I needed one that would post from specific categories, sadly this is the only one I’ve seen do that so far for free… but… nothing happens at all no matter what I do, change, even with a few forum posts and AI.Nothing does it. I can safely say this plugin doesn’t work.Thumbs up for a thumbs down!

Googleマイビジネスの最新情報をマメに投稿するのがローカルSEOに有利だと言われていますが、ブログやソーシャルメディアと並行してマイビジネスにも投稿するのはだるいです。 WordPressでブログを書いているなら、このプラグインを導入してブログ投稿のついでにGoogleマイビジネスにも投稿するのが楽で良いと考えます。 日本語化ができていなくて取っ付きにくいのは難点ですが、やることは決まっているので、使い方だけ覚えれば何語で書いてあっても問題ありません。
