Where it ranks in wp.org search

Main keywords, best position first

Tags still to break into the top 24: cookie, cookie consent.

What to fix first

  1. 1

    Swap “cookie”, “cookie consent” and “gdpr” for “rgpd”, “eprivacy” and “privacy compliance”

    “cookie” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “rgpd” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “cookie consent” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “eprivacy” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “gdpr” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “privacy compliance” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

  2. 2

    One page off on “ccpa”

    #15 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

  3. 3

    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.

Readme fails 6 of 8 AI readiness checks

Needs work

AI assistants recommend what they can quote. Failing: says what it does, has a faq, faq asks real questions, names who it is for, names what it works with and headings and lists. Short description names no action; say what the plugin does for the site.

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 16 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

Opportunity

This plugin scores 85/100 on health yet sits at 7,000 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.
