Biggest opportunity: Swap “email automation” for “remind”. “email automation” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “remind” sits at #9 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 →2.0%
of downloads still active
At least 100 of 5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Email & Marketing plugin keeps 0.9%, across 1,298 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Email & Marketing 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 18 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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| review reminder your tag | #8 | #18 | up 1 |
| customer reviews your tag | #11 | #20 | up 2 |
| remind | #9 | #14 | — |
| customer rewards | #8 | #19 | up 6 |

62 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 7 listed. 55 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Swap “email automation” for “remind”. “email automation” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “remind” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “customer reviews”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Estimated active installs
The public count shows “100+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band 2 months ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just over 100.
At the current install trend, crossing 200+ in roughly 319 days.

I tried many review plugins but all lacks of some feature until I found this one. It’s too bad the paid version is to expensive because would be nice to use some pro features but USD 99 per year it’s too much.

It’s incredible this little plugin. You can install and configure it with a few clicks and it will just work super nicely. The Yay team has done really a great job and it’s only version 1.0.5 at the time of reviewing. You should definitely check it out.
