Biggest opportunity: Swap “faq” for “questions answers”. “faq” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “questions answers” sits at #24 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 90 of 20K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Chat & Support plugin keeps 0.8%, across 627 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Chat & Support 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 1 release 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.

Estimated active installs
The public count shows “90+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band today and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 100.
At the current install trend, crossing 100+ in roughly 134 days.

The CPT slug “question” is bad coding style. A unique name should have been created. You should fix this.

Does everything we need to get rich results for FAQ snippets. Customizable headings unlike other apps like Yoast.

Another great plugin from WPSSO. Really like how you can include FAQ content within a page or product. Google seems to find it! Thanks.

Does exactly what it says it will do. I am pleased with the updates and the light nature of the demand it makes on the site.

Great plugin if you have many pages that need an FAQ section. When I asked for a functionality, it was added to the plugin very quickly. Thanks.
