Biggest opportunity: Swap “reservation” and “booking system” for “hotels” and “class booking”. “reservation” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “hotels” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “booking system” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #21. “class booking” sits at #10 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 7K of 457.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Booking & Events plugin keeps 0.8%, across 944 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Booking & Events plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 11 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

What to do about it
- Swap “reservation” and “booking system” for “hotels” and “class booking”. “reservation” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “hotels” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “booking system” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #21. “class booking” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
