Biggest opportunity: Swap “structured data”, “json ld” and “local seo” for “json”, “product schema” and “woocommerce schema”. “structured data” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “json” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “json ld” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #22. “product schema” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “local seo” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #13. “woocommerce schema” 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 →9.1%
of downloads still active
At least 3K of 32.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median SEO plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,192 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other SEO 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 2 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 “structured data”, “json ld” and “local seo” for “json”, “product schema” and “woocommerce schema”. “structured data” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “json” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “json ld” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #22. “product schema” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “local seo” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #13. “woocommerce schema” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- Slipping on “json ld”. Down 18 places since 2026-09-18, now #22. Check what shipped around then, and what moved above you.
- One page off on “local seo”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

After installing Pro Version I misst something (geocoordinates for the second business schema and an another payment method). Mailed to John and the next Weekend all my wishes were in the new Pro Version. Now all works fine for me. Excellent! 🙂

Gerou muito bem os dados estruturados para negócio local, faltou duas coisas ao meu ver, o horário de funcionamento e o price range que é opcional e no meu caso não havia, mas pode fazer falta a outras empresas. This topic was modified 5 years, 7 months ago by maurotoshiuki.
