Biggest opportunity: Swap “page builder” and “template” for “companion plugin” and “companion”. “page builder” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “companion plugin” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “template” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “companion” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →1.4%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 73.7K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Page Builders plugin keeps 2.4%, across 1,272 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.
This plugin shipped 9 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.

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.

What to do about it

For days and days I was looking for a good theme with everything ready to go, and came across a theme called BusinessExpo which came with WP Frank Companion. At first I ran into an issue and contacted support. They were very quick to reply and was able to get me up and running quickly. Very good theme and support. I am using the Medical Health theme built on BusinessExpo. Check it out and you will see how easy it is to use and setup. Thanks,David

Great theme, simple enough “out of box” (if that’s what you want), and with minimal amendments required. Great support from the developer! Try it! Thanks
