What we found
Downloads are cooling
Needs work30-day download momentum is -11% while the Uncategorized category median is +7%. The decline is steeper than the market, which points at something plugin-specific.
What to do: A coordinated content + outreach push can re-ignite installs.
Readme fails 5 of 8 AI readiness checks
Needs workAI assistants recommend what they can quote. Failing: has a faq, faq asks real questions, names who it is for, names what it works with and enough to quote. No FAQ section.
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.
Run the free AI visibility scan →Review volume is thin
OpportunityOnly 1 rating. 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.
Actively maintained. Updated within the last quarter, a strong trust and ranking signal.
