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

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price.

    Love this plugin, and love it’s simplistic approach. Easy to setup and get locations quickly listed and published. Switched to this one after using Agile Store Locator, which is so complicated that I hated updating it and could train anyone else to manage it.

    I’ve used this plugin on 2 commercial sites and it is rock solid. When my client wanted to use this as a way to add cities with customers, but didn’t want to specify who they were or their street address. So the Directions link didn’t work. I received multiple custom snippets of code to get it right. Thank you Farroyo!

    It works well, but the default styling is bad. Fixed with labels, weird height input field, forced colour button text – nope, just use default html and let the theme handle it.

    Not only is this super easy to set up and the CSV extension works like a charm, the support is awesome. I had to style a few things and I was provided with a top tier solution. And the kicker: They could charge quite some money for this. But it`s so reasonable that it is almost unreal.

    Awesome plugin! Really easy to use. Locations can be added with an address and linked to a page or post and found on a map. Sort locations by distance using an address, city op zipcode. Just what I was looking for! Works like a charm.
