The truth is out there: very few users leave a review for a WordPress plugin. All plugin developers know it’s darn hard to get that 5-star review for their “baby”. In fact, data shows that the average percentage of users who leave reviews for a popular WordPress plugin is 0.2%. That means, for every 1000 users, only 2 will likely leave a review on the WordPress repository.
Not the most exciting statistical data, I know.
Yet, being able to collect (positive) reviews is important for a plugin developer because:
It’s your way to attract new users
The very first aspect prospect users look at are your reviews. We all look at those stars and yellow bars the second the page loads. I’m not saying it’s the only thing users pay attention to but an important one, for sure.
It’s your way to rank higher in the WordPress repository
The WordPress repository search algorithm factors in different elements you can control/influence and the average rating of your plugin is one of them. Therefore, the more 5-star reviews you’re able to collect, the better your chances to show higher and more frequently on the result pages.
It helps your clickthrough rate
