What to fix first

Ask happy users for a review
5 reviews so far. wp.org gives the rating more weight as the count grows past 25.

Add “esign” and “signature” to your wp.org tags
You rank #7 and #20 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 3 listed these are the slots worth spending.

Rating below category benchmark
Needs workYour rating, weighted for review count, is 3.5★ and trails the Forms average of 3.8★.
What to do: Close the gap with targeted UX fixes and review recovery.
Readme fails 5 of 8 AI readiness checks
Needs workAI assistants recommend what they can quote. Failing: says what it does, has a faq, faq asks real questions, names who it is for and tags match the text. 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.
Run the free AI visibility scan →Review volume is thin
OpportunityOnly 5 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 80/100 on health yet sits at 300 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.
Small download base. 665 downloads in 30 days, so a +11% move is a few installs rather than a trend.
Light support activity. Few recent support threads, so there is no backlog to report.
Actively maintained. Updated within the last quarter, a strong trust and ranking signal.
No open vulnerabilities recorded. No unpatched security advisory is recorded against this plugin.
