GA4 Plugins for Multi-Author Publishers
Ask your analytics which of your writers performs best and it cannot tell you. It knows about pages, not authors. It knows a URL got four thousand views; it has no idea who wrote it, what section it belongs to, or whether it was a news piece or a long feature. Custom dimensions fix that,…

Star Rating Plugins for Recipe and Affiliate Blogs
Reader ratings on blog posts are a different problem from business reviews, and the plugins that do them well are mostly free, mostly old, and mostly finished.

Four pricing models coexist in the same category, they produce wildly different totals over the life of a business, and the ranking of “cheapest” reverses depending on how far ahead you look. At one end, LatePoint and FluentBooking at $199 once. At…

Booking Plugins for Trades and Home Services
Appointment software was designed for people who sit still. A hairdresser, a therapist, a dentist: the customer travels to a fixed place, the appointment is a slot on a calendar, and the only variable is duration. Booking plugins model that world well because that is the world they were built for. A plumber’s day is…

Gravity Forms Alternatives for Agencies Managing Many Client Sites
Agencies compare this category on the wrong number. The introductory price is what you pay once; the renewal is what you pay for the rest of the relationship. Gravity Forms Elite is $259 a year for unlimited sites, and that is the standing price. WPForms Elite is $299.50 in year one and $599 every year…
