Where it ranks in wp.org search

Main keywords, best position first

Tags still to break into the top 24: add to cart, customer, one product.

What to fix first

  1. 1

    Ship an update

    Last release was 477 days ago. wp.org lowers a listing's search weight once it goes about 180 days without a release.

  2. 2

    Ask happy users for a review

    9 reviews so far. wp.org gives the rating more weight as the count grows past 25.

  3. 3

    Swap “add to cart” and “customer” for “allow” and “only”

    “add to cart” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “allow” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “customer” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “only” sits at #16 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

  4. 4

    Readme fails 6 of 8 AI readiness checks

    Rewrite the readme so each failed check passes: say the job in the first line, answer real questions in the FAQ, name who it is for and what it works with, and use headings and lists.

Update cadence is slipping

Needs work

Last updated 16 months ago. Freshness is one of the strongest directory-ranking signals.

What to do: Get back on a visible release cadence, even minor releases.

Readme fails 6 of 8 AI readiness checks

Needs work

AI assistants recommend what they can quote. Failing: has a faq, faq asks real questions, names who it is for, names what it works with, headings and lists and enough to quote. Only 2 questions in the FAQ; 3 or more gives an assistant something to match.

What to do: Rewrite the readme so each failed check passes: say the job in the first line, answer real questions in the FAQ, name who it is for and what it works with, and use headings and lists. For the same check on your plugin's own website, run the free AI visibility scan from AgentVania.

Review volume is thin

Opportunity

Only 9 ratings. A handful of reviews makes your star average fragile and weakens trust at install time.

What to do: Run a structured in-plugin review prompt and a review campaign.
