Swap “bbpress widget” and “bbpress login” for “forget password” and “register”
“bbpress widget” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #17. “forget password” sits at #16 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “bbpress login” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #11. “register” sits at #24 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 “bbpress login”
#11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

What we found
Update cadence is slipping
Needs workLast updated 12 months ago. Freshness is one of the strongest directory-ranking signals.
What to do: Get back on a visible release cadence, even minor releases.
Review volume is thin
OpportunityOnly 8 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.
Healthy but under-discovered
OpportunityThis plugin scores 74/100 on health yet sits at 600 installs. The product is good; distribution is the gap.
What to do: A WP Mayor review and placement can put it in front of the right audience.
Readme fails 2 of 8 AI readiness checks
OpportunityAI assistants recommend what they can quote. Failing: has a faq and faq asks real questions. 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.
